I am using google feeds api in a phonegap app and when the connection gets too slow (as I think) an error saying "The connection to the server was unsuccessful. (file:///android_asset/www/index.html)" pops up instead of loading the app. What should I do to eliminate this error? Please help buddies...

Is it throwing an shouting red "TIMEOUT ERROR" in the log?? Probably your code is too heavy for the application to handle in the current timeout... – Alexandre Wiechers Vaz
Yes there is a TIMEOUT ERROR in the log. This happened when the internet connection went slow. It was fine when Im using the app under fast internet connections. What should I do? – Teshan Nanayakkara
You can set a timeout to check it. For example, if your ajax call(Assuming you're making an ajax call) is taking more than 5 seconds to return an response, abort this call and try again later – Alexandre Wiechers Vaz

In your main Activity, increase the timeout

super.loadUrl("something.com",60000);

May be below code help you out

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 10000);
}

This lets cordova wait for 10 seconds to startup.
