java.net.SocketTimeoutException

I think you need to say more and/or post some source to get an assist.

Also, how are you running the app? On hardware or in the emulator?

You can also implement a 'retry' method that will try to connect again (up to a predefined number of attempts) if the connection fails.

I run it on a Nexus One and I get this error a lot of times. Not sure why because I know for sure the code is correct. I'm not getting any other errors.

I do something similar like Erel did in his Flickr sample (I cannot share the code). I first do a http call for some text data (using an ID for that session) and then just after that I try to get an image download. So basically these are two calls within a second, one to send data somewhere and one to get an image.

Maybe calling these just after each other is a problem?

Mmm, ok.

Just thought about it, probably better to use a webview to get it fixed. I use Google Static maps to get an image with latest location but that is probably easier with a webview.

Such issues may also be related to resources not being released. Are you releasing all responses, with Response.Release?

Nope, good point. Didn't know existence of that command.
