How todo ipv6 T-Mobile APN ( Android )

T-mobile has support for  IPv6 & it's celluar devices and it's quite simple to enable on most  android devices. I will show you how & it's quite simple.


Simple as   1 2 3+reboot :)

In these next phone screen shots, I will show you how I configured "google Nexus4". AndroidOS 4.3. Andorid OS ( linux ) ,  has been  ipv6 aware ever since it creations iirc.


Okay 1st ;

Navigate to Settings; Wirelesss &Network Settings;

Next ;

click the Mobile networks

And find the  Access Point Names

On my phone I have the default "T-Mobile US",  and a backup that I made. The APN must be configured for ALL data  access, so don't change anything else in it , or make a backup and start with that or the original.

I'm  confident in my re-configuration skills , but if you  paranoid make a  backup!

Okay let's dive in;

We are going modify your active profile by toggling the APN roaming protocol

"Ipv4/Ipv6"

After doing this, you will need to reboot the phone to engage the AP and for data establishment. See how simple it was :)

You can use the  http://ip6.me website to review your ipv6 settings,  and http://test-ipv6.com for testing.


( My  IPv6 DNS failed btw )
