SocketTimeoutException when trying to upload a file

I am using fuel and fuel-android 1.12.0 I keep getting the following error when trying to upload a file.

This is the response:

<-- -1 (https://myurlhere.com)
Response : 
Length : 0
Body : (empty)
Headers : (0)

This is the result [Failure: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out]

The file I am trying to upload is a bitmap that I am scaling then compressing:

val file = File.createTempFile( "file", ".png")
val fOut = FileOutputStream(file)

val height = (bitmap.height * 128 / bitmap.width)
val newBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 128, height, true)
newBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 85, fOut)
fOut.flush()
fOut.close()

My request looks like this

Fuel.upload(url)
.source { request, url -> file }
.name { "file" }
.responseString { request, response, result -> 
    handler(response.statusCode)
}

I have tried changing the default timeout and readtimeout but that hasn’t had any affect.

This works in the emulator, however when I try it on a device I get the above response and result. I have tried different devices running different version of Android, from Android 21 to 26 all with the same outcome. It’s not even hitting the server that the url points to.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

@andrewmarmion It seems like you are compressing bitmap and it may reduce the quality. Was looking for a better way to do so and found below one which might help you in your case.

Fuel.upload("PUT YOUR WEB URL HERE",
        Method.POST, requestParam)
        .dataParts { request, url ->
            listOf(
                    //DataPart takes a file, and you can specify the name and/or type
                    DataPart(localVideoFile, "video"),
                    DataPart(localThumbnailFile, "thumbnail_image"))
        }
        .timeoutRead(10 * 60 * 1000) // this mean 10 minutes
        .timeout(10 * 60 * 1000) // this mean 10 minutes
        .responseString { request, response, result ->
            Log.d(TAG, "Upload response code: ${response.statusCode}")
        }

There is no maximum file upload size. Postman will limit the number of concurrent uploads automatically. Your browser limits it to ~6 (depending on the browser and version). Fuel does not limit it.
