Comment (by Chai T. Rex):

 It was definitely my real home cable Internet address. Now it's showing my
 real Starbucks IP address. I checked what my non-Tor IP address was in a
 normal browser on my laptop on the same WiFi connection as my Android
 phone without using a proxy server by
 [https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip+address searching Google
 for `what is my ip address`]. It matched the revealed IP address xordern's
 extended check in Orfox.

 Perhaps the version on the Google Play Store is buggy.
