Seems the issue is in the application server. What is not clear to me is
whether the connection timeout you refer to is from the mobile devices
to the application or the application to the Postgres server? I'm
guessing the latter as I would expect the mobile devices to drop
connections more often then weekly.

Again not clear, are you referring to the application or the Postgres
database running on the server?
