Data keeps "hanging". TCP client/server

Hey!
I've created a remote controller app for android for my game. I'm using TCP for sending my data but there are some irregularities with the connection. Every now and then the server stops receiving for a couple of seconds and then starts again.
I should say that networking is very new to me, so sorry if t$$anonymous$$s is very basic stuff..

Here's the send code android client:

 @Override
     public void run() {
 
         //Keep in a loop as long as the running variable is true
         w$$anonymous$$le(running)
         {
             //Try catch block to catch exceptions for the networking code
             try{
                 data1[0]=currentPlayer;
                 data1[1]=panL;
                 data1[2]=tiltL;
                 data1[3]=panR;
                 data1[4]=tiltR;
                 data1[5]=accX;
                 data1[6]=accY;
                 data1[7]=accZ;
                 data1[8]=sendPause;
                 
                 for(int i=0; i<=9;i++){
                     buf1[i]=(byte)data1[i];                    
                 }
                 socket = new Socket(ipAddress, 1338);
                 out = socket.getOutputStream(); 
                 dos = new DataOutputStream(out);
 
                 dos.write(buf1, 0, buf1.length);
                 dos.flush();
                 socket.close();
 
                 synchronized(t$$anonymous$$s){
                     t$$anonymous$$s.wait(30);
                 }
             
                 }catch(Exception e)
                 {
                     Log.e("TCP", "Error",e);
                 }
             }
             
         }

Here's the receiving server code:

 private void HandleClient(TcpClient client){  
         NetworkStream clientStream=client.GetStream();
         using(MemoryStream messageStream=new MemoryStream())
         {
             byte[] inbuffer=new byte[65536];
             if(clientStream.CanRead)
             {
                 do
                 {
                     int bytesRead=clientStream.Read(inbuffer, 0, inbuffer.Length);
                     messageStream.Write(inbuffer, 0, bytesRead);
                 }
                 w$$anonymous$$le(clientStream.DataAvailable);
 
                 byte[] msg=messageStream.GetBuffer();
                 int[] stream=new int[9];
                 
                 for(int i=0; i<=8; i++){
                     stream[i]=msg[i];
                     if(stream[i]==255)stream[i]=-1;
                     if(stream[i]==254)stream[i]=-2;
                     if(stream[i]==253)stream[i]=-3;
                     if(stream[i]==252)stream[i]=-4;
                     if(stream[i]==251)stream[i]=-5;
                     if(stream[i]==250)stream[i]=-6;
                     if(stream[i]==249)stream[i]=-7;
                     if(stream[i]==248)stream[i]=-8;
                     if(stream[i]==247)stream[i]=-9;
                     if(stream[i]==246)stream[i]=-10;
                     if(stream[i]==245)stream[i]=-11;
                     if(stream[i]==244)stream[i]=-12;
                 }
                 packetID=msg[0];
                 switch(packetID){
                 case 1:
                     p1.joyLx = stream[1];
                     .....
                     p1.pause = stream[8];
                     p1.active=true;
                     break;
                 case 4:
                     p4.joyLx = stream[1];
                     ....
                     p4.pause = stream[8];
                     p4.active=true;
                     break;
                 }
 
             }
             else{
                 Debug.Log("Sorry.  You cannot read from t$$anonymous$$s NetworkStream.");
             }
 
         }

Please tell me if you need more samples or anyt$$anonymous$$ng and sorry if I'm not following protocols here. T$$anonymous$$s is my first post.
