    is static prevent my phone from changing IP's when needed?
    when you select DHCP your ip address/subnet/dns will be given to you by the device you connect to..
    when you select static tough, you can specify your own ip address/subnet/dns

    Yups thats it ;-)
    On most networks you will have a dhcp address,
    static is mostly used to configure dedicated networks like for webservers and other, it makes routing easier...

    But, while speaking about it, i noticed a serious bug in the past;
    i would assume that you can define settings per wifi-network on M8,
    this is not the case.
    And that is annoying since i need to acces very often different networks, and on some i need a fixed ip and on others not.. now i need to write my settings on a piece of paper and reconfigure everytime.

    Anyway, we are glad everything worked out fine for you :-)
    enjoy the m8 ;-)
