It could very well be that your request response time is exceeding the default time out for Remote Objects, but I'm not sure about app not working *at all* after that. This can create the intermittent behavior you're seeing, depending on load or query response time from the app's database. In

If you make the class bindable, the compiler will extend it from EventDispatcher, or implement IEventDispatcher, this means you can use all event dispatcher methods in that class. However, making a class bindable isn't the best coding practice, I'd rather do it by hand, it' be a more obvious code.
