I'm very interested in integrating org and android phone effectively, 
so I want to share the solutions with others who are using android phone and 
org-mode!

I changed my setting again for unstable WIFI connection!

Integrating android phone with org  has many details to resolve:
1. speed(import vcf, import org file to org-mobile and so on)
2. WIFI problem!
3. Battery (I think this should be pay more attention when we use WIFI, 
   I use android app: Better Wifi on/off)
4. maximum possible automation. 

This is my new solution:

1. I use botsync, pull all my agenda.org to my phone by  sshd in computer
2. Change the keybinding "g" in the agenda buffer, 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "g" (lambda () (interactive)
                                      (org-agenda-redo t)
                                      (org-contacts-export-as-vcard)
                                      (org-mobile-push)))
#+end_src
