If I'm understanding correctly the problem is that the threads crash
because they take too long until the next poll (resulting in resources
being freed up before the thread can respond), so that still wouldn't
solve the issue. Only solution in this case would be to just break
down the tasks so it polls more often, at the expense of
performance...

Also the implication here is that somehow Android is freeing up memory
before actually stopping the thread using it. Which sounds dangerous
