    Why does my SG3 keep using a different IPv6 address all the time?

    I've since discovered what's happening, and it is working as designed. The SG3 is simply implementing RFC4941 IPv6 Privacy Extensions to protect my anonymity when moving between home, work, and public hotspots. Without the use of RFC4941 then anyone could easily track my movements by following...

    S3's are dying after 150 days. No!!!

    Although I'm no expert in this subject area, from my understanding of the principles of physics and the many ESD trainings I've had to attend, I'm fairly certain that the damage would not show up in any diagnostic test nor would it be visible to the naked eye. However if you would like to...

    S3's are dying after 150 days. No!!!

    I spoke to Samsung UK this weekend and the engineer I spoke to explained that the update should come with the 4.1.2 update, and that it should prevent further damage to the main board although it will not repair any damage that has alreasy been done. BTW, although I said my phone died after...

    Why does my SG3 keep using a different IPv6 address all the time?

    I can see your point. Yes thanks, IPv4 works perfectly, and has done since day 1. Since I've gone to the trouble of buying an IPv6 capable router and getting a 6to4 tunnel, it would be nice if all my devices used it consistently.

    Why does my SG3 keep using a different IPv6 address all the time?

    No - nothing special My iPhones iPads laptops and servers all connect immediately without any problems to my IPv6 network. The only issues I have are 1) Solaris virtual machines needed to manually define a link-local address 2) I cant get the SG3 to use IPv6 over VPN even with use-ipv6...

    Why does my SG3 keep using a different IPv6 address all the time?

    My network will accept any IPv6 address within the /64 subnet and provides the /64 prefix by nd, so yes it honours every address the SG3 uses. The only restriction is MAC address filtering by the Wifi AP.

    S3's are dying after 150 days. No!!!

    So is there more than 1 update which contains 4.1.2? Pity there's no way I can check the build number now.

    Samsung Galaxy S3 will not turn on

    I updated my phone with 4.1.2 last week, and it died a sudden death a couple of hours ago, so I don't beleive that 4.1.2 has the fix :(

    S3's are dying after 150 days. No!!!

    Part of me wishes I'd have known about this thread earlier as I would have been able to setup backups for my phone, however as the damn paperweight is less than 30 days old, it would have made no difference because I'd be expecting to have another 120 days grace period. Has anyone else had an...

    [SOLVED] Why does my SG3 keep using a different IPv6 address all the time? Hi all, As part of the IPv6 standards for neighbour discovery devices append a 64bit host address to the network supplied prefix, and the host address is normally based upon their mac address an a pre-defined way...
