It's hard to answer such question without knowing the typical response time. Users are fairly accustomed to wait a few seconds when using mobile devices whilst on mobile networks.

Personally if the timeout is between 10 - 15s I will consider it a normal latency, if it is 20s or more, I will most likely quit the app.

From Default Documentation

Both setConnectTimeout (int timeout) and setReadTimeout (int timeout) From API 1

A SocketTimeoutException is thrown if the connection could not be established in this time. Default is 0 which stands for an infinite timeout.

see this link its give you more idea about this.
