But my problem has to do with the Remote App from Android instead of XBMC self. The banners are perfectly visible on my tv-screen, but not on my phone.

What if you have folder.jpg and banner.jpg in your tv show directories (I use both types of views)?

Then the remote should fetch the banner.jpg, but perhaps you'll have a different problem. It took me a week to fix mine :o

A remote tries to download the file named "banner.jpg" from the directory where the TV show is located. If that file cannot be found then downloads the cached image from the XBMC. The cached image is what the XBMC gets from the scrapper and generates when you add the show into the library. It is a banner or a poster depends on the scrapper settings.

Are you pulling your data for the shows locally or from the web, the ones that I created on my own follow this model:
TV Series Name---Season #(Folder)
In the TV series Name (Main Folder) I have Folder.jpg fanart.jpg and tvshow.nfo
Hope that helps
What media manager do you use? I am using EMM for movies and as far as TV goes I use it only for the shows I Create. For any other series I pull from thetvdb as the tv support in EMM is still in its infancy.

According to the log there are couple of banner.jpg which cannot be downloaded and the application falls back to the image cached by the XBMC
Can you confirm that these images are not exist?
E:/TV Shows/QI/banner.jpg
E:/TV Shows/Scrapheap Challenge/banner.jpg
E:/TV Shows/Scrubs/banner.jpg

I've spent some time today to investigate this problem. There is a confirmed error in the Android operating system such as the image decoding fails sometimes when the network connection is slow. I'm busy finding a workaround but meanwhile let me ask you how your network structure look like? How is the xbmc machine connected to the network and how is your android remote?
