    Does anyone know how to release and renew the IP address of a HTC One X?
    Specifically on mobile data over 3g rather than on wifi.
    I switched mobile data off and on again, restarted the phone, and even changed location (so different towers) but it seems to keep the IP somewhere.
    Any ideas?
    I'm on 3 if that makes any difference.

    Edit : Just downloaded Clean Connect and it is supposed to do that, and it looks like it was doing it but WhatIsMyIP.com didn't update. Clearing the browser cache didn't make any difference. Then the clincher. I changed to my home wifi and it STILL kept the same IP !

    WTF?

    This can be cached radio side, so you'll always get the same address, regardless of what you do.
    Try leaving mobile data off the a while and see does it timeout

    Clean Connect does seem to give me a new address (last 3 digits) but nothing resembling the address the app itself claims I'm assigned.

    I realise I know feck all about how IPs work lol.
