Hi Florian, Here is what the engineer investigating the issue discovered regarding the different versions.

Which Android version are you using? If that solves the problem, we might also be defensive in OpenCMIS and enable the stale connection check by default. - Florian > Hi Florian, > > Just for the record, I wanted to let you know how we resolved the problem > with the Android OpenCMIS Client reusing a stale connection.
