Rooted Samsung will Not Connect to Wireless Internet [migrated]
I have a rooted Android Samsung S23 that I use for penetration testing with mobile apps. Frequently, I have encountered issues with connecting it to WiFi networks. When I attempt to login to a WiFi network from this phone, it will return the message "connected without internet". This issue is not exclusive to a single network such as at the office or at home.
I can connect this phone to the internet using my laptop as a proxy. To do this, I enable USB debugging in developer settings. Then within the WiFi settings, I setup a proxy with hostname "localhost" and port number 8080. I then connect the phone to my laptop via USB cable, and entering the command "adb reverse 8080 8080" in my laptop terminal. When doing this, I have BurpSuite open and listening for connections to localhost:8080. I am able to intercept requests to applications on the phone this way.
This is the workaround I have been using so far, but it is very frustrating that I cannot find a fix for the WiFi. I have tried researching this problem but have not found anything helpful online. Changing the DNS settings does not work. I have also tried setting a static IP address for the phone. This does not work. The phone does not seem to be blocked in my router settings. Although for some reason it is listed under 'cable connected devices'. This is the only substantial clue I have.
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I am sure I am not the only person that has encountered this bug.
