Google Android isn't supporting DHCPv6 and USG is missing RDNSS

Today I learned that Android Phones don't support DHCPv6.
And indeed when I have such a phone and sniff with Whireshark I can't see any DHCPv6 requests. Therefore this is the reason why the phone can't get the DNS server addresses for IPv6.
With Windows and Linux systems everything works well, they request after a RA further information by DHCPv6.
As far a I understand Google is supporting to receive DNS addresses only by RA:
How can I configure a Zywall USG 110/210 to support this behaviour of Android phones ?

Do you plan to support RDNSS for advertising DNS servers by neighbor discovery in router advertisements as described in RFC6106 ?Here's an example of Cisco:
configure terminal
interface lan1
ipv6 nd ra dns server 2000::1 1000 sequence 0

Hi @FrankLauer,
Thanks for your suggestion. Currently, we don’t support those features.
I will put your suggestion into Ideas category for future development evaluation.
Thanks.
Best regards.
