When looking on my verizon account, my nexus 6p shows up as a blank phone compared to the other phones on my account. I know the nexus 6p is an unlocked device. Just wondering if others have this.
Yup it's an "unlisted" device in their database. I have the same issue. Doesn't affect anything really.

Its Verizon, what did you expect? Look at the Verizon version of the iPhone, it always got its updates long after the AT&T version here. This was likely a requirement to get the phone on that network.
The HSPA+ version should be fine. Not to mention, why is this in the Atrix forum?
Because all android users should see whats happening to the nexus

Fair enough, but this is much more a Verizon issue than a Nexus issue. Anyone who has had any experience with that carrier knows that they are the most locked down of all four here in the US. It sucks that their Nexus is a bit watered down, but until proven otherwise we can assume that the HSPA+ version being sold in other parts of the world and hopefully will soon show up on T-Mobile/AT&T keeps the spirit Nexus devices are supposed to embody.
Besides, while a slippery slope, its only two apps. It could be worse. MUCH worse.

I recently got my nexus 6P through o2 in the UK. There's no network branding on the phone what do ever. Came in the standard nexus 6P box and it has the standard android start up screen. Does this mean its just a stock nexus 6P also do all of the nexus 6p come unlocked?
Thank you
I don't believe nexus phones are ever locked. I've owned 3 and they've not been tied to a carrier and they've all been vanilla in every sense. Enjoy your phone!
Nexus phones are not carrier locked in any way. However, carriers may be able to push things like network identification to your lock screens or device restrictions (like blocking tethering). Custom ROMs, Rooting, etc. are the ways around that.
Most of the time, it's just harmless stuff like network identification on your lock screen.

Wow, I never owned the nexus 6 so I didn't realise that. I'm pretty sure that's not happened this (England) side of the pond.
Does anyone know if a Nexus 6P bought on contract from a carrier (I'm in Canada and looking at Bell) if the OS updates are received in the usual (quick-ish) fashion directly from Google or if the Carriers get in the way and delay them?
I'm on Rogers and I receive them right away.
It was bought on contract.

You shouldn't see any delay. This phone works out of the box on virtually every carrier.
so as you all might know verizon launched LTE-Advanced on most of their phones today. and since i'm a verizon customer with a Nexus 6P that's capable of doing LTE-A i was wondering if there is anyway to activate this feature on the Nexus 6P. I hope someone figures out a trick or software to activate it. Thanks
It is a radio thing so it should not need to be activated.
I am not a developer, but I am making a request. I have a nexus 6p and live in an area that has little service. Seeing how the pixel and nexus 6p devices are very similar, I was wondering if it's possible to port the function to the nexus 6p. Verizon stated wifi calling will work on all pixel devices and not just the one sold by them. So I was wondering if there is a kind soul out there that would be willing to give it a try?
Thanks in advance.
