Problem with Andrdoid apps when IPv6 is enabled on my Orbi system.
This is such an elusive bug that I do not expect to get it fixed, especially since I do know if it's the router or Android causing it. Anyway, with otherwise working IPv6 enabled on my network certa...
ANOTHER UPDATE: I replaced my modem CM1000 > CM2000 and the problem is gone. How a modem change can fix an Andrdoid IPv6 problem I do not understand at all. All my Android phones now stay on and are not cut off like they have been over the last couple of months. This only happend on my home network. I had no such problems on our Ubiquiry powered work network, I could not figure it out. though. I replaced my modem since my service got upgraded and I had someone who could use the CM1000. I have to say that the CM2000 seems to be a very good modem and the fact that this process somehow fixed my probnlem makes me even happier I upgraded!

What firmware version are you on?
Who's your isp?
I've currently got my RBK50 system running off my CM2000 and I'm using IPv6 without issues. Currently on comcast
How did you configure IPV6? Auto Config, Auto Connect or DHCP for the WAN connection? Any other out of the ordinary IPv6 settings?
I have the exactly the same setup as you, even the same modem, and IPv6 works fine otherwise. it's only some Android apps this happens with . Maybe I need to factory reset my phone?
I'm on the latest available firmware with the same modem and router as yours on Xfinity/Comcast Gigabit connection, This is only an Interent connection nothing else like phone or TV.
I used the auto connect option.
Nothing customized.
What firmware is on your router?
Have you tried using a different dns?
try googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
or cloudfare at 1.1.1.1

I have run Quad9, Cloudflare and Google DNS. Doesn't make any difference. Firmware is V2.7.2.104
Did this issue just start?
Try disabling the daylight savings time and the traffic monitor and reboot the router

I do not have anything enabled on the router but I do have DST set. I can try without that but not sure why that would make a difference. We will see!
I wold like to add that it make take a day or two to see if this still happens since it's only when the phone is idle it happens and often only a couple of times a day. It started a coupe of months ago
