I received the update this morning 2/8. Everything is working great and the visual voicemail is also working.
THANK YOU for mentioning visual voicemail. I also got the 7.1.1 upgrade 2/8 followed by the February update on 2/9. I poked around a bit, but didn't notice anything different really, but I never went into the phone. I have VV now, too (about damn time - I bought the phone when it first came out.)
Although, I had a phone app update earlier in the week, and I noticed the interface was somewhat different after that, including the in-call options. Didn't check the voicemail tab then, either, so not sure when this happened. Just glad to have VV again.
One other thing that I mentioned in another thread. I initially had a problem with Daydream, but that resolved. However, in looking into that issue, I discovered that I can no longer find the control for Daydream. It's no longer under the Display setting in the Settings menu. Can anyone point me in the right direction? No issue, I'm more just curious where it went.
