Got this working. There were some issues as mentioned above with the Manifest file. On top of that the NAMESPACE, SOAP_ACTION, and URL parameters were incorrect. The NAMESPACE required "uri:" to be pre-pended to it, as did SOAP_ACTION. The URL needed to have an endpoint specified so instead of http://192.168.1.2:8002/WebService.Mobile.svc it needed to be http://192.168.1.2:8002/WebService.Mobile.svc/Mobile.

Had the same issue and found this: http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/issues/detail?id=35

See Comments 15 and 17.

OR

Set the system property "http.keepAlive" to "false".

Later on in that issue someone suggests usage of "KeepAliveHttsTransport".

For me, the (I admit it's dirty) try/catch worked just fine.
