Android official xbmc remote I/O Exception - failed to connect

Problem: 

I am getting a failed to connect error on the official Android xbmc remote application. The actual error message looks like:

I/O Exception (java.net.SocketException)
failed to connect to /XBMC Device Address (port 8080) after 5000ms: isConnected failed: EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)

Solution:

This error generally occurs after turning on your xbmc via wake on LAN functionality. The remote app attempts to establish a connection with the device before it is ready for it, hence the message. This is currently a bug in the official xbmc remote control application. As of this time, there is no proper solution to this problem, so until then we will have to bare this error message.

As soon as a fix is established this article will be updated. Until then we will have to ignore this for now.
