do not have the correct radio / RIL capabilities)
I'm using the Galaxy Nexus GSM bought directly from google a few weeks ago. The firmware is up to date as are the apps.
The instructions mention settings and pages that are slightly wrong for this phone. I went to the "Mobile network settings" -> "Access Point names" -> "T-Mobile US, epc.tmobile.com" -> "APN Protocol". It was "IPv4" and I changed it to "IPv4/IPv6" and then rebooted. There was no "save" button or menu item. After reboot the ipv4/ipv6 setting was still active (so it was saved), but no connection took place. The cell tower I'm using is in Fremont, CA (CID 47052 LAC321). Might it not be v6 connected?
For the sake of the archive and documenting the confirmed fix, the correct APN setting for T-Mobile is "IPv6" not "IPv4 /IPv6" CB

Yup. Thanks Cameron! Chosing IPv6 (-only), does work. I can view IPv6-only websites when on a cell connection. Before that only worked when on wifi. -wolfgang -- g+: https://plus.google.com/114566345864337108516/about
