I've seen some Nexus 6 features in online videos that don't seem to work on my Nexus 6. It makes me wonder if Verizon has modified the Nexus 6 phones they sell.

I don't think so they use the standard build that's available on Google for download. there are the only two sets of hardware the International and ours.

What version of the software are you on and what is it that you have seen that you can't do?

I believe the only reason Verizon took so long to launch the Nexus 6 was wanting HD calling on it. Other than that the build should be the same as any other Nexus 6. What features are you looking for?

It has Android version 5.1, Build number LMY47E. It's things they do during reviews that I can't seem to do. It may a different version of Android or it might be me. They do things so quick that it is had to see just what they did. This made me wonder if the Verizon Nexus 6 was pure Android of if Version had modified it.

I am also interested in hearing what these features are

For one thing, on the battery page the reviewer was able to swipe left and right to show other days of usage. I can't do that. Watch the Nexus 6 initial review by Erica Griffin on you tube.

I'll bet the video was made with a Nexus 6 on Android 5.0 or 5.01, and now you have 5.1 which does some things differently.

I don't think there has been anything documented where a Nexus 6 on Verizon works differently than on another network (other than APN differences for texting; or Advanced Calling/HD calling on VZW).
