Hi Momo,
In this post, I have posted more safer approach of taking screen size and then calling swipe.
Scroll functionality using loop
Hope this helps!

Im using appium 1.4.8 dmg, appium-python-client 0.17. Thank you

Well, I never used python. Lets try a give you a valid response.

Have you tried speed at 0? With 5 that means a speed of 5 pixels per second and you requesting 1000 offset.

Mainly, any reason why you use selendroid TouchActions instead of appium TouchAction? like

action = TouchAction(self.driver)
el = self.driver.find_element_by_name('Something')
action.press(el).move_to(x=100, y=-1000).release().perform()

or the driver swipe:

driver.swipe(100, 500, 100, 100, 800)

The method is def swipe(self, start_x, start_y, end_x, end_y, duration=None)

Appium TouchAction did not work for me but it was not the method you describe i used back then, ill try your suggestion and let you know. Thanks in advance.

Im getting this error with the first suggested method.

I cant try the second method because i need to swipe/scroll from an especific element.

If you wish to swipe to a specific element - add a logic to check for the element after each swipe. Added my function here, check if it helps:

    def android_is_visible(self, locator):
    for _ in xrange(15):
        x = 1000
        try:
            value = self.get_element(locator).is_displayed()
            if value is True:
                break
        except NoSuchElementException:
            self.driver.swipe(470, 1400, 470, x, 400)
            self.driver.implicitly_wait(5)
            continue

with python i see below error and scrolling is not working for me
