Figured this one out and it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the arcgis sdk or related code. When the users switched over to 4g, they were on an ipv6 network. Our mapping services are behind an amazon ELB which was configured to support ipv6 on the front end in addition to ipv4. Something to do with the ipv6 portion was failing or there was a compatibility problem. For now, we've disabled ipv6 on that ELB and everything is working great over ipv4.Keith
