Ask that user (I assume you talk about eduroam) to use the new "geteduroam" app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.eduroam.geteduroam&hl=en&gl=US
Maybe he got some old configuration on his mobile that enforces TLS 1.0 (not sure if that is possible though).

Thanks for your response. You're right! But not all of the failing clients have an outdated os. At least one of them used an up-to-date Android mobile ...
