Instead I temporarily changed my WiFi settings to use Google's nameserver at 8.8.8.8.
Suggestions such as toggling Airplane Mode, performing a hard reboot, or the actions in chrome://net-internals/#dns did not work for me. In my case, I just had one domain name that I needed flushed.
If anybody tried one of those solutions, confirmation (or the opposite) is surely welcome :)

Might sound stupid, but I could imagine when entering airplane mode Android does something similar to /etc/init.d/networking stop, which has a DNS flush as side-effect.Ī very easy solution was supplied by dtumaykin in the comments below: simply switching to airplane-mode and back might already do it (of course with the side-effect of the network going down for a couple of seconds ) Though it might not work on some devices, it's worth a try: no extra installs, and easily performed even by n00bs.

The last option but most intensive on the user themselves unless they want to just wait the update out: Have your users go into settings -> applications -> Network Location -> Clear dataĪnother short howto mentions a different easy way to flush DNS (again, I didn't test this myself): Simply switch to airplane mode (oops, no network?) and back (ah, there it is) should do the trick. There are several "similar apps" listed on Google Play - but be aware that most of them include Airpush ads and/or want excessive permissions, which is why I didn't name them here.Īnother possible solution (not tested by myself) I found at MadPC, seemingly quoting user8522's answer before stating:
Btw: while not mentioning root as requirement, it might still be needed. I didn't try it out myself, and furthermore there seems no way to do only that (just one "optimize" button which "applies improvements") also its effects might differ between devices (says the app's description) - but it might be better than a reboot. There're also apps like Internet Booster promising to "clear DNS cache" (amongst other things).
