My Nexus 6 not showing in Android Device Manager

[xfactor99]

I currently have an unlocked Nexus 6 running latest build of 5.1 on Verizon right now since Sunday. However I can't get the Nexus to show in my Android Device Manager. The Nexus does show in Google Play. I have cleared cache and data from Device Manager app, I have uninstalled and re installed Device Manager as well. I have went into Google settings>Security and toggled on and off "Remotely locate this device" and "Allow remote lock and erase". I have powered down and on this device several times. I have removed my Google account and then resigned back into the account. I just can't think of anything else to do. I have searched online for this problem and have done everything that was told to me. I am hoping not to factory reset the device but if its the last result, I may not have a choose. PLEASE HELP

P.S. Is there a setting that I'm missing that has either Gmail or Inbox app retrieve emails quicker. It doesn't seem to be refreshing or pushing the emails to my phone very often. I have missed couple very important emails because of this. Not sure if its a related problem with the device manager situtation (doubt it).

Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing you've done this already, but just to be sure--when you say the Nexus 6 shows up in Google Play, you mean that it's set up to be visible in menus, right? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3265955?hl=en

You have Auto-Sync on, right? Syncing should be fairly instantaneous. Do you have background data restricted for Gmail or in general?

Thank you for your help. I did end up factory resetting the phone. I did find an article that if you had cleared data on Google Services Framework ( reason why I did was from another article ) that it should correct the problem. But of course it screwed up a lot of this. So after factory resetting and when I signed back in with my credentials, Android Device Manager found it immediately. Plus looks like apps are syncing again. So long story short. IT WORKS.

I have the same problem with Device Manager! What exactly did clearing out GS Framework screw up, along with helping to solve the issue??

I corrected this issue on my Nexus 5 by uninstalling the Google Play Services (Not the Framework) updates and then reinstalling them. Nexus 5.
