Android 7.1.1 SSLHandShakeException Connection Closed by Peer

Question

First, I've already searched the internet and have been debugging for 3 days.

This is the exact error,

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Connection closed by peer

Due to confidentiality reasons, I can't post the codes. There's no caused by exception given by the StackTrace so i can't really diagnose the problem.

Here are some information I can share.

Application is working in Android 5.0.2.
Request is being sent to https://[IP_address]:443/
I am sending a request to a special hardware, like a control box. I can only write and retrieve data through POST requests.
The certificate chain that I receive in my CustomTrustManager's checkServerTrusted method has a CN that is not an IP address and not a DNS, more like a word only (i.e. CN=commonname).
My HostNameVerifier is ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER temporarily (which i think might solve the problem with the 3rd info?).
I am using a DummyTrustManager that trusts all certificates.
I am using SSLContext.getInstance("TLS").
The certificate being used is self-signed.
The certificate used by the hardware uses AES128 cipher.
Can successfully send request to another URL that uses a self-signed certificate with TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher.

Any inputs or help will be appreciated.
