I have a Nexus 6 that I purchased directly from Motorola and have running on Verizon's network. I have not yet received the Android 5.1 OTA update. Shouldn't I have received it by now? If not, when should I expect it?
No offense intended, but let's answer this question - What version of android SHIPS on Verizon issued Nexus 6's ?
They have no need of an OTA. It comes with LMY47E installed. (if you want a higher build, or 5.1 in general, see below)
You'll have to flash a 5.1 image for it.
Alternatively, you could also try the no SIM installed boot up after a factory reset and see if it gets it from Google.
Probably Never
For some background see the following post. You will be very interested in the Android Police article.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/ota-requires-carrier-approval-t3067283
Hope this helps ....
Unless you want to do the get on wifi and pull the SIM card dance (after you factory flash) you might want to read up on doing it manually yourself.
I recommend using the Nexus toolkit to retain your user data and moving to any version Google has available.
I suppose it couldn't hurt to pull the Verizon SIM, get on wifi, reboot your phone and see what happens.

I'm wondering which version of 5.1 I should be grabbing. I think I'm going to do the side-load instead of pulling my SIM to get it to update to build D. Will build D have the HD voice feature?
What do you guys recommend?
The only thing that's important is the 98R baseband radio I believe that comes with D and E. once you have that you can flip to any system version after D you would like. I am currently running version i on Benzo and HD voice works fine.

Just received a notification for "Motorola Sensor Service Firmware" upgrade. Does anyone have any idea what it is?
I am still running Kitkat and haven't yet upgraded to Lollipop.

Wonder if its the one that came out in September and you just haven't taken it yet? Check the play store for Motorola sensor services. When I first got my phone in October most of the Motorola apps needed to be updated but I needed to find them manually....once you find one just check the others apps from same dev to get them all easier.
Unless this is a new one which I hope it is, would be more exciting

Thanks for the reply.
I just bought the phone couple of days back and have only updated the Moto apps came preloaded and installed my needed apps. Haven't even updated to Lollipop.
How do I know if this one is the Sept update? is there any way to know the version? What is version of the the Sept update?
I am annoyed by the camera autofocus performance during video shooting. Does the Sept update fix that issue? Rest of things are working absolutely fine, I hope the update doesn't break them.
I got this update earlier in the week. There was a big dump of Motorola app updates. I just got my phone a few weeks ago so I don't know if it's a catch-up update or a newer one.
I have an unlocked Phone running on VZW. Should I expect that at some point I will get VoLTE.....or should I just return it while I can and get a VZW version?

Did that a month ago. Waiting for the update 5.1 to be able to use it

Running stock 5.1 now on motorola-purchased phone. My VZW account is provisioned for "advanced calling" but not seeing it function on the phone at this point. I know my Droid Turbo was pushed a VZW update when VoLTE was available. I assume that is not supposed to be the process on a N6.

Try following the instructions in these threads. I have it currently working on 5.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/video-verizon-nexus-6-volte-t3052537
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/verizon-volte-problem-solution-t3052877
Also the VoLTE feature only works for Verizon to Verizon calling and with other phones that have the feature. The best part of the update is the simultaneous Voice/Data capabilities.
When the links were first published for 5.1, I flashed and installed the update through fast-boot and I am currently on 5.1 successfully. I have a t-mobile sim and I purchased this device from them. Today, they are pushing the 5.1 update which is the same as what I already have, but in addition, they are adding VolLTE. Now Im not sure if I already have that due to previously flashing it, or am I supposed to re-flash the T-Mobile variant of 5.1. Anyone have any input?
volte is voice over lte, making and receiving calls on lte. do you have volte?

when you make a phone call, does the phone stay on lte or does it change to H or 3G during the call?

Never-mind, I looked around and apparently the build number for the nexus 6 t mobile carrier is different (LMY47M). And Yes, its LTE. So i guess I just have to wait till the new factory images are posted to Google and then eventually side-load the update.
Hello,
I just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to a Nexus 6 yesterday. Loving it!
It's running 5.1 out of the box, but how do I know I have the latest firmware / radio / bootloader, etc?
Here's what I'm seeing:
SETTINGS:
Nexus 6
5.1
LMY470
MM9625_104446.01.02.98R
BOOTLOADER
moto-apq8084-71.08
D4.0-9625-02.98
Thanks!

If it was purchased directly from Verizon, you have the latest firmware release. This is the first time I have seen LMY47O on an N6 though. That's more recent than anything else reported here.
Carrier Specific Images?
If it is factory fresh and purchased from Verizon directly, kind of negates the theory that the "E" image was Verizon specific. Makes me wonder about the other supposed carrier specific images.
I purchased directly from a VZW store and then flashed Euphoria and Franco Kernel.

Thanks for the clarification.
@clairez @cam30era
See pics. After unlocking I get a custom Android boot screen and the phone will not read any SIM. Appreciate if someone knows how to reverse this. Running Android 5.0 (can't root, install custom recovery, flash, or update from external storage).

WTH?
Did you unlock the bootloader?

No. AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader starting with Android 5. I did find that the baseband version is "unkown", which is why the radio is not working or reading a SIM. See picture.
Hmmm
So your ril got corrupted some how is what it looks like to me.
What is "ril" the acronym for?
In any event, where can I get a stock 5.0 or higher ROM that I can hopefully flash from my sd card. All I'm seeing is 4.4.2. Apparently, the AT&T updates are OTA.
Hmmm
I'm out of town right now and can't find one on xda. Try sammobile.com. Don't try ro flash it via sdcard. Odin or adb sideload would be the way to go. I would also suggest rebooting into the built in recovery and resetting it that way.
Thank you. for the suggestions. Before posting the original thread I tried a factory re-set (volume up + home + power), as well as Odin, and neither worked.
AT&T has the bootloader locked tight on Android 5.0 and above.
Yes
That is unfortunately true. Where did you buy the phone? And do you live in the states?
Use Triangle Away apk.
It's US stock, original AT&T device. Worked fine with the exception of poor battery life after the 5.0 OTA upgrade untilit was unlocked.
