APNIC reminds us that "there are now a large number of ISPs, data centres, cloud services, and software that now support IPv6" and "enabling IPv6 can be as simple as clicking a button on your WiFi router."
I turned it on, with Comcast I received an IPv6 route but no DNS server. Fortunately, Google Public DNS has unmemorable addresses, which I was able to configure manually.
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
It works. "There's only one thing left for you to do: Turn it on!"

I don't remember if we had issues with nexus phones or if it was just samsungs. we bet on samsung and we lost. they could not deliver a quality ipv6 phone stack. the details escape me as it was a few yrs ago and I was more on the unix side than the phone/android side.
still, the one who SHIPS HARDARE is where the buck stops. so I would still blame samsung. they are big enough that they have funds and resources to fix killer bugs.
as for ipv6 at home, I still see no need until I'm forced. what do I gain, exactly, by changing things and HAVING to run dual stacks? I simply don't see any benefit for the effort involved.
perhaps on a brand new setup; but to update old working ones? if it aint broke, the saying goes....
