I am dealing with a strange problem connecting to my MySQL database on Amazon RDS using JDBC. I have two different Android phones on the same network running the same code. One connects without any problems. The other is giving me the following exception:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not create connection to database server.

The database only shows 1 active connection, so I know it is not because of too many open connections. I have tried rebooting the server, but it didn't help. I am using the MySQL JDBC Connector/J version 5.1.23. The phone that works is running Android version 2.3.5 and the one that doesn't work is running Android version 4.0.4. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?
Thanks!
