mHttpClient.execute(httppost) with extremely long response 3g/4g.. but NOT wifi. after ICS update
<p>I can't get this one.  Had an app that was working great.  Then I updated my Razr Droid to ICS and things have changed.  </p>

<p>Running a Drupal Server with Drupal Services Module.  When I connect over wifi, everything works great.  When I connect over 3g/4g however, the httpclient.execute() method takes 3-4 minutes instead of seconds.  I put together the following sample code which recreates the problem. I should add that browser connection to the server over 4g works fine.. So I don't think this is a simple wireless connection issue. </p>

<pre><code>public class DrupalTestActivity extends Activity {


    private Context mCtx;

<p>MUCH longer login time!!</p>

<p>Clearly, the getExtractedText is something new,but is it a cause or a result?  I did a search on here for IInputConnectionWrapper getExtractedText and there is one question where someone asks what it's significance is.. It was closed and marked as a bad question. :(</p>

<p>Additional details are Verizon carrier
Server is hosted on Rackspace Cloud Servers
Phone Verizon Droid Razr, Android 4.0.4</p>

<p>I'm really hopeful I can get some guidance here or my months of work are bust.  Thanks a ton for any help at all. </p>
