Connecting to any URL: java.io.IOException TCP Open - java

I have a midlet that reads some bytes from google to test, it runs ok on my nokia and sony ericsson cellphones but in "Samsung GT-E2120L cellphone it doesn't work, I get "java.io.IOException TCP Open" Exception when I try to get the connection response code
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("http://www.google.com");
// The exception throws HERE
int rc = conn.getResponseCode();
byte[] buff = new byte[255];
conn.openInputStream().read(buff);
Note: I have credit :)
Note2: I can access to google from native navigator of the "Samsung cellphone"
Note3: I had tried to Connect to the URL with 3 diferent modes: Connector.READ,Connector.WRITE, Connector.READ_WRITE
Note4: My application is not trusted but I have the "javax.microedition.io.Connector.http" API Permissions
Note5: I know that the read buffer[255] is hard coded but it's only for test
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance and thanks for reading

"java.io.IOException TCP Open" - is it all that you get from exception?
If you declared javax.microedition.io.Connector.http in MIDlet-Permissions try to delete it. Really you don't need this parameter if your midlet is unsigned.
Some samsung mobiles (D600, E200) have bug: after some time without any correlations with actions were did they became unavailable to use internet from midlets. May be it's your case?
And as commentator said it could be different settings for accessing internet from java.

java.io.IOException: bt socket connect failed

Im using a bluetooth printer which i connect to my device using BlueToothSocket, etc. I've been successful with most of the devices but as of this week I have a new device which i just cant get the printer to connect to (open the socket that is, since it's successfully paired). I've used this two methods (used first one with both secure and insecure way):
mmSocket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid);
AND
m = device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket",new Class[] { int.class });
mmSocket = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, Integer.valueOf(1));
Followed by mmSocket.connect();
The problem is, that neither are working and the error shown is the one stated at the question: java.io.IOException: bt socket connect failed
What'd be causing this? I've tried this on a HTC ONE, a Sony Xperia, a Galaxy Tablet, Motorola phone etc.. But now im using this ACUBE 7 Phablet and it's not working. I have a feeling it's got to be something on the device build that's causing it to fail but cant figure out which way to work something out. Any ideas? Are there any other methods used to initiate a Bluetooth connection programmatically between paired devices?

Java Can't Connect To PHP Web Service

Edit:
As I've just seen, it happens even with the simplest setup:
InputStream stream = new URL("http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx/GetAll.php").openStream();
Gives the same timeout error. I think I'm missing some basic configuration.
I used HTTPGet to connect to a PHP web service I have.
I saw it's deprecated so I've been trying to switch to the recommended HttpUrlConnection but with no success.
The HttpURLConnection does not seem to be able connect to the service, even though I can connect from my web browser without any problem.
My connection code:
URL myUrl = new URL("http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx/GetAll.php");
HttpURLConnection request = (HttpURLConnection)myUrl.openConnection();
request.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml;charset=UTF-8");
InputStream stream = request.getInputStream();
The GetAll.php file:
<?
require_once('MysqliDb.php'); //Helper class
$db = new MysqliDb();
//All closest events by date
$All = $db->query("SELECT * FROM Event;");
//Return in JSON
echo json_encode($All);
The result I am getting from the file:
[{"EventID":1,"StartTime":1300,"Duration":1,"EventDate":"2015-05-17","EventOrder":1,"Type":0,"Name":"\u05e2\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05ea AND ENGLISH","Organiser":"Neta","Phone":"012345678","Location":"Loc","Description":"Desc"}]
Thank you,

I want to share my solution, as this has cost me hours of hair tearing.
As it turns out, "Timed out" exception has nothing to do with the code, it's a network connectivity issue. The phone I used to debug the app sometimes appears to be connected to Wifi even though it really isn't.
Anyway, if you have this exception, try checking your network connection.
Good luck!

Android communication to server very slow due to long DNS packets

I am working on a project that communicates to a server through a URLConnection.
Here is the code:
URL theSite;
theSite = new URL(TestURL);
URLConnection con = theSite.openConnection();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
However this is taking my Motorola Atrix and Samsung Nexus S about 20 seconds or more to when talking with the server. (Information does get sent eventually it seams) Looking at the packets in wireshark, I've found that there are many groups of DNS packets sent which with about 3-5 seconds between each one. This is likely the cause of the slow communication.
Here is are two sample DNS packets. (I've changed the IP's, except for the destination of 8.8.8.8 which I believe is google)
Time Source Destination Protocol Info
20.308792 10.10.120.104 8.8.8.8 DNS Standard query PTR 3.120.10.10.in-addr.arpa
25.360726 10.10.120.104 8.8.8.8 DNS Standard query PTR 3.120.10.10.in-addr.arpa
Anyways, this happened today out of the blue. But it is very apparent that it is these DNS calls that are causing slow communication between the server and my device.
Another thing of note, is that I have also tried the EXACT same code on the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet and it works fine. Looking at the packet trace there are no Extra DNS calls from the tablet.
I don't have control over the server, and had the packets sent to me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm guessing that it is a server related issue. If anyone has any ideas, it is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Are you using 4g or 3g? I had a very similar experience today, and noticed the delay was only present when using 4g. 3g seems to be fine.
AFAIK, 4g uses ipv6 addresses by default, while 3g uses ipv4 by default. That delay is ipv6 failing, getting to the failover, and finally being rerouted. For me, it took about an extra 20 seconds.
Currently, I am waiting on feedback from the server team to see if our DNS is set up to handle ipv6 properly.
But honestly, this is only as far as I got, sorry it is nothing definite.
We have figured this out. Turns out on the servers side, there were issues routing DNS packets and they kept timing out which they have fixed.
Something we added to help make sure that this issue doesn't happen again, is manually setting the DNS timeouts so that after failing once, the DNS packet timeout will be almost instant. Using InetSocketAddress is the key.
Here's some sample code to get this working.
int timeout = 0; //How ever long you want to set the timeout to.
somePageParameters = "Parameter String";
InetSocketAddress isock = new InetSocketAddress(ip, 1000);
Socket s = null;
s = new Socket();
s.connect(isock,timeout);
OutputStream os = s.getOutputStream();
String myString = "";
myString = "GET "+"/"+ somePageParameters+" HTTP/1.0\n\r\n\r";
System.err.println("Hitting with: "+myString);
byte outbuf[] = myString.getBytes();
os.write(outbuf);
os.flush();
Then use this socket as you normally would.
Hopefully this helps someone.

java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable: connect

I am trying to download a xml text file from a web server using this method:

xmlWriter = new FileWriter(fileName);
System.out.println("URL to download is : " + url);
// here Exception is thrown/////////////////////////////////
BufferedReader inputTxtReader = new BufferedReader
(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(addURL.openStream())));
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
String str ;
String fileInStr = "";
str = inputTxtReader.readLine();
while (!(str == null) ){///&& !(str.equals("</tv>"))
fileInStr += (str + "\r\n");
str = inputTxtReader.readLine();
}
xmlWriter.write(fileInStr);
xmlWriter.flush();
xmlWriter.close();
System.out.println("File Downloaded");
}

Thank you all.
You are facing a connection breakdown. Does this happen in 3G, WiFi or "plain" connection on a computer?
Anyway, you must assume that the connection may be lost from time to time, when writing your app. For example, with mobiles, this happens frequently in the tube, in basements, etc. With PC apps, this is less frequent but occurs sometimes.
A retry can be a good solution. And a clean error message that explains the network is not available at this moment too.
I faced situation of getting java.net.SocketException not sometimes but every time. I've added -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to java command line and my program started to work properly.
"Network is unreachable" means just that. You're not connected to a network. It's something outside of your program. Could be a bad OS setting, NIC, router, etc.
I haven't tested with your code so it would be totally different case though, still I'd like to share my experience. (Also this must be too late answer though, I hope this answer still would help somebody in the future)
I recently faced similar experience like you such as some times Network is unreachable, but sometimes not. In short words, what was cause is too small time out. It seems Java throws IOException with stating "Network is unreachable" when the connection fails because of it. It was so misleading (I would expect something like saying "time out") and I spent almost a month to detect it.
Here I found another post about how to set time out.
Alternative to java.net.URL for custom timeout setting
Again, this might not the same case as you got experienced, but somebody for the future.
this just happened to me. None of the answers helped, as the issue was I have recently changed the target host configuration and put incorrect host value there. So it could just be wrong connection details as well.
I faced this error after updating my network adapter configuration (migration to a NIC coupled network by PowerShell commandlet New-NetSwitchTeam). My guess is, that something in the java configuration must be adapted to reflect this change to the java system. But it is unclear where the changes should take place. I am investigating further.

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: https://hostname:port/xxx.do

We are getting the "java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL" error for the following code which is for applet-servlet communication. The same code has been working for long and now suddenly we see this error. Could something be wrong with tomcat setup? Tomcat logs do not show any error. The exception is thrown on the java console which points to this piece of code. Is there a good way to debug this error code?
URLConnection u = getConnection( url );
BufferedOutputStream bo = new BufferedOutputStream( u.getOutputStream() );
ObjectOutputStream oo = new ObjectOutputStream( bo );
oo.writeObject( someobject );
oo.flush();
BufferedInputStream bi = new BufferedInputStream( u.getInputStream() ); //getting the error on this line
ObjectInputStream oi = new ObjectInputStream( bi );
Object a_object = oi.readObject();
Any help would be appreciated.
I would take the following steps:
Try the same URL from a browser, ideally on several different boxes and browsers
Use Wireshark to see what's happening on the network
Try to run the applet against a debugger, to see whether your code is actually getting called
Basically it's unlikely to be a client-side issue at all, unless something like a proxy is getting in the way and screwing things up. WireShark will show you what's happening on the network... and if it really is getting to your code, debugging should help you find out what's going on in your server, and hopefully why it's not getting into the Tomcat logs.
Do you have access to the Tomcat? You should inspect its log to find a reason of the error.
500 Internal Server Error is an Error on the Server, not the Client. If your program is the client, you can't fix this other that telling the server administrator to fix it.
