Edit: Solved! I forgot I had accidentally opened a VPN app that was not yet configured and it had “always-on” enabled by default. Turned it off and everything worked fine again.

Hello friends! I dropped my Pixel 8 today and everything appeared to be fine until I realized nothing on discord would load and spotify said I was not connected to the internet. It showed that I was on 5G and should have had great connection, but nothing. I tried connecting to my work wifi, which connected, but again there’s no internet when I try to use any apps.

Basically my phone is connected to wifi/5G but the internet just doesn’t work after the drop.

If y’all could help me figure out what’s going on, if it’s fixable, etc, that would be lovely. I’d be happy to provide any additional information that could be useful. Also if it matters, I’m using grapheneOS.

    Oh, another thing. I have had situations that could be described similarly. The problem in those cases was my browser just having a day. Please try different browsers or do a force stop.

    In particular, I have had cursed Firefox tabs that are never able to load content, but closing all of them and starting a new session has fixed.

    I am hoping one of these simple fixes will work, because I feel for ya.

    edit: you mentioned Spotify and Discord which I am assuming are on apps, and not a web browser. :(
