How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem on my Lenovo P770. Later I confirmed that it was due to IPV6 binding to localhost by some software, or OEM ROM. I was lucky enough to get help from Robbie Matthews on Google groups. He compiled a special SL4A package addressing this issue.

If you work out, do not thank me. Thank him instead.

Answer 2

Your script doesn't match your error message??

Your error includes the following line, which is incorrect.

droid = droid.Android()

It should be as you have written it in the example you gave.

droid = android.Android()
