Hello,
I tried to google this error before posting but couldn't find this specific error code. I usually get disconnected from my VH android server at least once every time I connect. Below is the crash report from last night. Any advice on how to fix?

Thank you.
.
It seems the Android device is sending corrupt data. What exact device is it and android version?
Hi,Thanks for getting back…
Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. It's an Amazon fire stick 4k (1st gen)- running fire OS 6.7.1.1 which I think might be based off android 7.1.

I am using a wired connection if that helps.
.
Im wondering if its something do with with 16k changes in Android. I was forced to recompile the android server in 4.8.0 due to google requirements. Maybe its acting weird on FireTV because of that. Can you try to find an older APK on e.g apkpure . See if that makes a difference.
