Answer 1

if you see something like:

10-12 16:46:44.719 2710-2719/? E/StrictMode: A resource was acquired at attached stack trace but never released. See java.io.Closeable for information on avoiding resource leaks.
10-12 16:46:44.719 2710-2719/? E/StrictMode: java.lang.Throwable: Explicit termination method 'end' not called

in your stacktrace, there is a known bug in older versions of okhttp that you can avoid by forcing the use of a newer version in your gradle file.

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.2.0'

that solved a very similar problem for me at least.
