If the web site has a static IP and the Android app uses that instead

I think the answer is "it will stop you getting a tsnet error (6)".
That doesn't mean it will "fix" it. Most likely (as others have said in
more detail), it's a result of flaky or intermittent network connection
somewhere, making your DNS lookups fail incompletely. Using a static IP
will simply mean that no DNS lookup is needed - so your attempt to
transfer data will get started and likely fail in some other way because
of that flaky connection.
How (whether) that shows itself to the user is unpredictable :-)
That's a problem, the app needs to be dead reliable. But see my other
note about https connections. Those appear to have something to do with
the problem, but my tester won't get back to the coffee house for a
couple of days to find out for sure.
