[Q] IPV4 VS IPV6!!! FOR xPERIA X10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does xperia can use ipv6 as we know the ipv4 is almost finish so
My question is there any way to convert xperia x10 to ipv6
or this is implemented to the software?
OR

BY THE WAY HOW TO SET UP in X10
HTML:
The main reason for the concern? There's an explosion of data about to happen to the Web - thanks largely to sensor data, smart grids, RFID and other Internet of Things data. Other reasons include the increase in mobile devices connecting to the Internet and the annual growth in user-generated content on the Web.
Why a New Internet Protocol is Needed
Currently the Web largely uses IPv4, Internet Protocol version 4. Each IPv4 address is limited to a 32-bit number, which means there are a maximum of just over 4 billion unique addresses. IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol and uses a 128-bit address, so it supports a vastly larger number of unique addresses. Enough, in fact, to give every person on the planet over 4 billion addresses!
John Curran from ARIN, the non-profit responsible for managing the distribution of Internet addresses in the North American region, told ReadWriteWeb that of the approximately 4 billion IPv4 addresses available, all but 6% have already been allocated. Curran expects the final 6% to be allocated over the coming year.
This is largely an issue that ISP (Internet Service Providers) and telecoms carriers need to deal with. However content service providers, including large-scale Internet companies like Google and Facebook, also need to ensure that the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 takes place. Curran explained that a content company like Google (for example its YouTube operation) will need to work with its ISP to transport the content via IPv6 as well as IPv4.
This transition is happening "slowly," says Curran. But he warns that "deployment is where we're behind."
Google, Facebook & Others Making Good Progress
John Curran told us that large carriers like Verizon and Comcast have announced trial IPv6 activity. Curran also noted that new Internet of Things initiatives that use sensor networks, power grids, RFID and similar technologies, are being directed to use IPv6 and not IPv4.
There is also solid support from the big Internet companies. Curran said that Google has already put the majority of its services onto IPv6. Declaring its support for IPv6 on a special webpage, Google states that "IPv6 is essential to the continued health and openness of the Internet [and] will enable innovation and allow the Internet's continued growth."
In June, Google held a Google IPv6 Implementors Conference. At that event, Facebook announced that it had begun to use IPv6.
In his opening remarks to the conference, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf urges ISPs to move to IPv6, so that a "black market" for Internet addresses won't occur.
Another Y2K?
Critics view some of the push for IPv6 as Chicken Little 'the sky is falling' talk. Commented @ajbraun, a self-described technology leader at Sony Ericsson, via Twitter: "We should call this "IPv6: Y2K II." An obvious issue for 10 years, we will panic at the end and finally much ado about nothing."
Others see a technology called NAT (Network Address Translation) as a solution - it maps multiple addresses to a single IP address, thus reducing the amount of unique IP addresses required. However this is at best a temporary solution. Google argued back in 2008 that NAT and similar technologies "complicate the Internet's architecture, pose barriers to the development of new applications, and run contrary to network openness principles."
Whether or not there is Y2K-style fear mongering, the bottom line is that IPv6 is a much larger platform for the coming Internet of Things. So one way or another, the move will have to be made.

But my question is specyficaly about X10

Is your mobile operator moving to IPv6? Do you have a IPv6 network in your home? Do you encounter IPv6 out and about?

[Q] DHCP Lease IP Address Issues

Not sure if this belongs in this section or not. I know this is an ongoing issue with some Android OS phones. I just wanted to see if any other Atrix owner is having the same issues or if anyone has ideas on how to fix.
Problem
Network monitoring shows that your Android OS based phone is causing a problem on the campus wireless network.
Your phone is not properly communicating with the campus DHCP servers, which assign (“lease”) IP addresses to allow your phone to communicate on the campus network. Your phone contacts our DHCP server to obtain an IP address, and is given an IP address to utilize for a period of three hours.
During that three-hour period, if your device remains connected to the campus network, your phone should automatically contact our DHCP server to request a renewal of that lease for an additional three hours. If your device does not complete that renewal, the lease on the IP address your device is using will expire and your phone must stop using that IP address. At that time, the IP address is returned to the pool of available IP addresses that can be assigned to other users.
The problem we are seeing from your device is that it does not request a renewal of this IP address and it does not stop using this address after the three-hour lease expires. In some cases, we have even noted your device attempting to renew the lease on the IP address it was using well after it was expired.
As the IP address your device was using returns to the pool of addresses to be assigned to other users as soon as the lease expires, by continuing to use this IP address, your device will be interfering with others users who have been leased that IP address by our DHCP servers.
We have seen this issue from many Android OS based devices manufactured by a variety of vendors and sold by a variety of mobile carriers. As such, we suspect this is due to a bug in the underlying Android Operating System.
We do not expect that there are any configuration changes or settings on your device that would resolve this issue.
So there it is. I've read through some Google forums and even here at XDA. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] VOIP blocked - Any help.

I don't know whether I should ask it here or shouldn't.....i was very happy doing VOIP on my Vibrant.....now suddenly my company has blocked VOIP also none of the messenger's are getting log in...
Only my phone's Gtalk is working...but no VOIp. is there a VOIP application which can bypass this blocking. I tried several application from Market...but none seems working.
My sip provider is NYMGO (www.nymgo.com)
Please if any one can help??
Bump.....85 views no reply...come on guys....help me out...
I don't understand the problem.
Are you saying T-Mobile is blocking VoIP over data?
Are you saying your employer is blocking VoIP on their WiFi network?
My employer is blocking VoIP on their WiFi network.
Make friends with one of the network admins and ask them to unblock the ports NYMGO uses. Seriously, they obviously don't want you using unauthorized apps or services on their network. Many companies, including mine, have strict policies in that lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination for any unauthorized use of the company's network or the circumvention of any security policies in place.
First step would be to talk to the network admin and find out what changed on the network and if they could re-open those ports used by your voip. If they tell you they can't, you're SOL. It's the company's network, not yours, they pay for it and therefore they decide how it's used, not you. If you had to manage a large corporate network you would understand.

Android APN type codes

I spent most of a day trying to get an APN definition for MMS working on my new (and first) smartphone. Searching for answers, I found a lot of conflicting information regarding the meaning and specification of "APN type." I finally decided to go to the source (code) to understand. Here's what I found for Android 4.1.1 (sorry if this is duplicative, but nowhere could I find an exhaustive list):
from /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/Phone.java, /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/DataConnectionTracker.java, and /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/core/java/android/net/ConnectivityManager.java
default any type for which no APN entry is defined
mms Multimedia Messaging Service
supl Secure User Plane Location, geographic device location
dun Dial Up Networking bridge
hipri High Priority Mobile data
ims IP Multimedia Subsystem
fota Over the air Adminstration
cbs Carrier Branded Services
* all types of traffic (literal asterisk string)
"APN type" may be specified by including one or more of the above strings in a comma-separated list (apparently only lower-case, no spaces). In my case (Italy Coop-Voce branded service apparently carried by TIM), specifying a GPRS APN with APN type "default" and a second APN definition with APN type "mms" was sufficient to provide working Internet, SMS, and MMS access. After saving the MMS APN definition, I saw that it showed no radio-button for selection. I thought that meant the definition was faulty, but not so; it works just fine for MMS nonetheless (apparently the radio button selects only the primary data APN).
from /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/core/java/android/net/ConnectivityManager.java
MMS An MMS-specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as TYPE_MOBILE but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier's Multimedia Messaging Service servers. It may coexist with default data connections.
SUPL A SUPL-specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as TYPE_MOBILE but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier's Secure User Plane Location servers for help locating the device. It may coexist with default data connections.
DUN A DUN-specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be thesame as TYPE_MOBILE but it may be different. This is used by applicaitons performing a Dial Up Networking bridge so that the carrier is aware of DUN traffic. It may coexist with default data connections.
HIPRI A High Priority Mobile data connection. This connection is typically the same as TYPE_MOBILE but the routing setup is different. Only requesting processes will have access to the Mobile DNS servers and only IP's explicitly requested via requestRouteToHost will route over this interface if a default route exists.
IMS IP Multimedia Subsystem
FOTA Over the air Adminstration.
CBS Carrier Branded Services
Note: directory structure and module content vary with Android version. Some earlier versions do not define all above APN types; otherwise, type strings and meanings appear to be consistent across versions.
Thank you for sharing.
I know it's an old post but I won't to open a new thread since I think this is still gave good informations about apn.
I would like to know if it's useful tu change apn type values manually.
My previous carrier(wind) in type apn had this values:
Code:
default,supl,agps,fota,dun
.
My current carrier (kena mobile) has just
Code:
default
in apn type and
Code:
pap
in authentication method.
This are the settings obtained via carrier auto-configuration procedure for Moto G5 plus(my smartphone).
What do you think? It's useful tu add different values after
Code:
default
or it's a total waste of time since the carrier system override what you set locally on your device?
Thank you very much.
there's also the "admin" type which you can use for using duplicated SIM cards.
T-Mobile's APN settings for the LG ThinQ has a type called "xcap":
Sorry, don't have enough posts to include the link.
Anyone know what xcap is for? I Googled for this APN type value, but haven't found anything about this value.
Thanks,
Q
Thanks for the info. Valuable information in this post. Thumbs up!

Android and the ability to customize DNS Servers

I will make this quick, and I hope to see some insight into that question:
We all known how sensitive the DNS Service is. With most of our carriers/ISP proving the service, is not a surprise that lots of people are pressuring vendors to include more privacy-focused DNS services. And that is justified, with that information a company is able to infer lots about you, what banks you have an account, what is your e-mail provider, what porn sites you like to visit and etc, basically is possible to know pretty much everything you do online. Another aspect is that, if your Carrier/ISP got pwned, you are in bad sheets, as the hacker may redirect legit traffic to a custom server, waiting to -eager- to receive your connection and fool you.
Our best bet is to be able to change, and possible setup our own DNS service if paranoid.
Now, we have on Android an option to ask the system to use a encrypted connection to reach a DNS server on the Internet. This feature is called "Private DNS". That would be a solution, if Google were actually *enforcing* the config. Even if I use an VPN, the Carrier is able to ask the system to add a *custom route* that will redirect the traffic going to the Carrier DNS server *out* of the VPN. And if you use a VPN connection and your carrier do not enforce a route to their DNS, you will not be able to use Google's Private DNS as it doesn't work while a VPN is connected.
If you ask me, this is pretty much BS. There is zero need to have a VPN to push a DNS server, but what really shook me is that Google pushed the Private DNS, over TLS and over HTTPS but that setting is not global in the system. What the actual ****?!
The fact that I may need to root the device in order to control the DNS configuration is so bad.. I can't even express how I fell about that.
Any thoughts about the matter? Have you managed to control the DNS config without root and wifi tricks?

Textnow free data bypass questions

Hi so I recently activated the unlimited free text and calling from textnow on my samsung galaxy s8+ unlocked sm-g955u on their sprint network. When I had first done it I realized I was able to use free high speed data throughout much of my device with the exception of some games and apps it wouldnt work on.
So I set out trying to find away to bypass restrictions and limitations of the free data I had. I couldnt figure it out in the least, I tried everything I knew to hide usage. And in the process something horrible happened, I lost all that free data on everything except for the google search bar app. In which the google search bar you can search anything you want and all the results come up super fast. The catch is, I can no longer click any links and load pages beyond it. It just sits on a white blank page after clicking a link.
I tried to figure out what I did to change it or put their (I'm assuming) normal restrictions of data usage back in place where it was meant to be from the beginning. I havent been able to unlock the data since.. I e tried vpn like psiphon pro that I could use to get free high speed unlimited data from any captive portal login. But it doesnt work, rather textnow refuses to connect. Any sort of vpn textnow seemingly rejects the connection and I cant even place texts or calls.
I know textnow uses the sprint lte data service for its software. I know there is what I would call high speed lte data associated with my activated sim for text now. I can tell just simply by the load speeds of the google search bar reguardless of what you search for. That and what I had experienced when I first activated my sim and device.
So I'm coming here for a little help in brainstorming how myself and many other people who activated their own unlocked device in the talk and text plan, can bypass the restrictions textnow places on where the data can be used at. The data now is restricted to just textnow and google search (also nessecary functional apps) I know there is a way to hide this use of data, I tried the captive portal login which is speedy, but on pie i cant open the login into a browser to spread the service and i cant find a way to use the portal login to search anywhere else but textnow webpage.
Any ideas people? I'm sure many many people would benefit greatly to a loophole if any were found, and there is a loophole because my device was at first capable of near unrestricted data access before i tried to fully unlock it. If you know someone that might have some valuable input please tell them about this discussion and bring them here.

I realize this post is from last year, but I just ran across it and wanted to give my input in the event it may help somebody. As most TextNow subscribers are aware, T-Mobile's prior acquisition of the Sprint network is now geared towards shutting down the Sprint 3G & 4G networks nationwide. In fact, the lights have already went out on the former, while the 4G side is slated for complete shutdown by mid-2022. Accordingly, TextNow is presently migrating all subscribers over to T-Mobile's GSM 4G-LTE/5G nationwide network. Subscribers who were already using Sprint compatible devices are receiving free upgraded GSM SIM cards from TextNow to make the transition seamless. Unfortunately, this will likely be the end of all the free high speed 4G-LTE data subscribers enjoyed while connected to Sprint's network. This free data exploit was due to a proxy anomaly caused by the default reverse tunneling settings of certain brands and models of smartphones. While the knowledge will do little good now, the "restrictions" of using the data device-wide, across all apps and services, could be bypassed by setting up pdaNET+ on the TextNow device as host access point. Then, by enabling a WiFi direct hotspot via local proxy, the connection could be shared by a Windows 10/11 PC or laptop, by way of the pdaNET+ client-side setup. Then, by using the native Windows 10/11 hotspot feature, the data connection could be resolved and shared by other mobile devices in a normal device-wide manner. So while the TextNow host device would be unable to use the data across all apps and services, any devices connected to the Windows hotspot would have unfettered and unrestricted use of the data. Depending on how tech-savvy you wanted to be, the Windows PC Ethernet port could be used to traffic the data into a home router or extender for expanded sharing. Great while it lasted. I just recently received my TextNow GSM SIM in the mail, and haven't yet had time to experiment with data connectivity or exploits thereof. I will keep my findings posted here as I probe the uncharted waters .
So as you might or might not know, there already is a pseudo free data that is running on the google servers. Example: open a browser and search through google and you will get the results, its slow so I'm assuming its 3g. but they have a firewall that is blocking every other site unless its running via google servers.
You could theoretically setup a google hosted server yourself, maybe rent a cloud server out from google and run programs through there. run a tunnel through that for unlimited data on the phone. Someone just has to figure out how to do that.
For anyone reading this and wondering what we're talking about. Textnow is a free phone app you can use with their SIM/network and never pay a dime for phone service and texting, including media texting. It's totally free.
If this were to be more useful in terms of what sites we could visit, it would be a lot more lucrative.
Another idea I had, if someone has a pentesting rig that can run this network and see which ip addresses are being blocked, we could start building a list of sites that are whitelisted, both IP's and hostname resolved (http/s for example) this would allow us to see where we can start digging to find a place to setup a tunnel here.
I know that google has server hosting via their cloud computing network, you can even host DHCP style servers on it, so you could theoretically use this to tunnel through if the google server IP range is whitelisted. which it might be..
Google has an VPN that's free with Fi, so maybe you can pay for the VPN if you don't use Fi, therefore it's going through Google servers to then the user, so maybe if it costs less than TN's 1GB plan, we could consider it if it works.
