Review the affected app's mobile-data permissions and any manufacturer-specific data restrictions. Then compare one programme on Wi-Fi and mobile data. Keep source and account unchanged so the network comparison remains useful.
Why this happens
Android devices can apply app-specific data controls, while the carrier connection has its own coverage and allowance. The exact settings names vary by manufacturer.
Work through the steps
- Open the player's app-information page.
- Review mobile-data and data-saving restrictions using the phone's guide.
- Test a known working programme with Wi-Fi disabled.
- Reconnect Wi-Fi and compare the same source.
What to avoid
Consider mobile data charges. Do not disable every battery or privacy setting merely because one network fails.
Know what changed
A relevant permission change should allow the same source to load over mobile data. If it still fails, record whether ordinary web access also fails on that connection.
