I created a remote server for an app to connect to using sockets. It connects and receives data just fine when I’m using wi-fi but it rarely receives data when I’m using 3g. Is there a better way of connecting remotely?

What I understand is that you may be transferring a large amount of data over sockets.
So, when you are on a faster connection, it goes through quickly, but when you are on a slower 3G connection, it takes a long time to go through.
So, if possible try to reduce the amount of data which gets transferred.
You can also try some mechanism like

There is a corresponding http://download.oracle.com/javase/1,5.0/docs/api/java/util/zip/GZIPInputStream.html .
These streams compress the data to send it over the socket and decompress on the receiving side. So, it increases your processing time a little bit but reduces the amount of data being transmitted.
