Android Question ResponseError. Reason: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timeout, Response:

When ever I get the error
ResponseError. Reason: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timeout, Response:

Subsequent Connections to using HttpJob don't work on the andriod phone am using to debug the my app
... It will only start to work after I restart the android phone.

Why is that?

Funny thing is it affects all other apps I've designed with B4A making the same request with HttpJob

Okay. So this is how the problem occurs..

When I start my application, it loads the splash screen and heads on to my login screen loaded as root of B4XMainpage
B4X:
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    fa.Initialize
    Root = Root1
    Wait For (ShowSplashScreen) Complete (Unused As Boolean)
    B4XPages.AddPage("pos_lite_main",pos_lite_main.Initialize)
    B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True
    Root.LoadLayout("login")
 
    submit.Typeface = fa.FontAwesomeTypeface
    submit.Text =  fa.GetFontAwesomeIconByname("fa-user") & " Login"
 
    listlist.Initialize
    select_business_name.SetItems(listlist)

 If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal,"string.txt") Then
        username.Text = File.ReadString(File.DirRootExternal, "String.txt")
    End If
 
    If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal,"string2.txt") Then
        select_business_name.text = File.ReadString(File.DirRootExternal, "String2.txt")
    End If
End Sub

Then when there is a successful login it loads this -- I use an API which executes SQL commands and bring back results as JSON. The API url is stored with a process_global variable at application main and I call it to other classes

B4X:
Private Sub submit_Click
    ProgressDialogShow2("Please Wait, Loading",False)
    Dim results_database As String
    Dim job As HttpJob
    job.Initialize("", Me)

'I check if database exist first before I authenticate login credentials

    job.PostString(Main.apilocationURL, "command= SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'mcdinosg_" & select_business_name.text & "' & database= mcdinosg_postest")
 
    wait for (job) JobDone(job As HttpJob)
 
    If job.Success Then
        Dim parser As JSONParser
        parser.Initialize(job.GetString)
             
        If job.GetString = "[]" Then
            ProgressDialogHide
            'Msgbox("Username and password not exist","User not found")
        Else
                 
            Dim m As Map
            Dim list1 As List = parser.NextArray
            m = list1.get(0)
         
            results_database = m.Get("SCHEMA_NAME")
         
            ProgressDialogHide
        End If
    End If
    job.Release
 
 
    ' This execute if database exist
    If results_database = "mcdinosg_"& select_business_name.text  Then
        Dim job3 As HttpJob
        job3.Initialize("", Me)
        job3.PostString(Main.apilocation, "command= select username,password,role from login_table where username ='"& username.text &"' and password = '"& password.Text &"' & database= mcdinosg_"& select_business_name.text & "")
 
        Wait For (job3) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
 
        If j.Success = True Then
            Dim parser As JSONParser
            parser.Initialize(j.GetString)
            If j.GetString = "[]" Then
                MsgboxAsync("Username and password not exist","User not found")
            Else
                 
                Dim m As Map
                Dim list1 As List = parser.NextArray
                m = list1.get(0)
                Dim username_ As String = m.Get("username")
                Dim password_ As String = m.Get("password")
                Dim role_ As String = m.Get("role")
            End If
         
            If username_ = "" Or password_ = "" Then
                ProgressDialogHide
            Else
                 
                If username_ = username.text And password_ = password.text Then
                    ProgressDialogHide
                    username.text = ""
                    password.Text=""
                    CallSub3(pos_lite_main, "getname", username_,role_)
'                        StartActivity(Activity2)
'                        Activity.Finish
                    If File.ExternalWritable = False Then
                    Else
                        File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal, "String.txt",username_)
                        File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal, "String2.txt",select_business_name.text)
                    End If
                    Try
                        database = "mcdinosg_"& select_business_name.text
'This is where I load the main screen
                        B4XPages.ShowPage("pos_lite_main")
                     
                    Catch
                        Log(LastException)
                    End Try
                     
                Else
                    ProgressDialogHide
                    MsgboxAsync("Username and password not exist","User not found")
                End If
            End If
        Else
            ProgressDialogHide
            Log("Error: " & j.ErrorMessage)
            ToastMessageShow("Error: " & j.ErrorMessage, True)
        End If
        j.Release
    Else
        ProgressDialogHide
        MsgboxAsync("Business name not exist","")
    End If
 
End Sub


After Login when I show
B4XPages.ShowPage("pos_lite_main")

And click the back arrow, it takes me to login screen.
When I try login again, that is when the error start.

Even if I stop debugging and start again, http jobs don't get executed unless I restart the phone I'm using for debugging.

this is the error from second login
