[Errno 2] temporary failure in name resolution

socket.gaierror: [Errno 2] temporary failure in name resolution.

This error comes up when trying to run my app on android. These are my settings:

Non-kivy modules used:
import threading
import ftplib
import tarfile
import telnetlib
import shutil
import os

How I got the app to android:
./build.py --name "InsertBookView" --version 0.4 --package tap.second.insertbookview --orientation landscape --dir /home/krister/Dropbox/Projects/InsertBook/App --permission INTERNET debug installd

Log with adb logcat | egrep -i "kivy|python":

More info:
I will post my code only if you say it's neccesary.
App works perfectly fine on OpenSUSE kivy 1.8 dev. As I understand it, PFA uses 1.7.1, but since this error is to do with python rather than kivy, it shouldn't matter.

perhaps relevant, no help to me though: http://gregalbrecht.com/2010/04/22/python-macos/

turns out my phone didn't have a connection at all...
furthermore, telnet is the module that got the socket error.
