Is your backend setup with the bind-address=:: in your mysql.conf.d files
somewhere??
Did you use a real IP address in mythtv-setup instead of 127.0.0.1?

If you did all that then on the Android device go to apps and delete all
the data for mythfrontend and then when it pops up the can't connect
message, just search.  Mine always connects at that point.  That's how I
switch backends when testing.
