European Motorola Milestone 2.1 Update Available, Brings Nine Homescreens
May 6th
It may not be the mid-April date that Motorola had promised so long ago, but it’s better than nothing. According to Motorola’s Facebook page European Motorola Milestone users can now get their official 2.1 update bringing with it, the option to use as many as a whopping nine homescreens. Voice dialing over Bluetooth is also an added feature that the US Motorola Droid did not receive in it’s version of 2.1 that the Milestone will receive.
Users have been reporting however that they are having issues after the update with putting their devices in the multimedia dock. Motorola has offered some advice on how to fix the problem—simply clearing out the multimedia cache should resolve the issue.
In some cases problems with docking stations have been due to old cache, try this:
1.Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications
2.Press menu button
3.Filter -> All -> Multimedia station -> Clear data
The update is available from Motorola’s Milestone support page and is currently only available as a side-loaded update but we hear that an OTA version is in the works. A PDF is available here if you need more details before you bite the bullet.

Follow me on twitterLeaked Android 2.1 update for Droid features live wallpapers
Mar 8th
Well well well. What do we have here? After being told that live wallpapers would not be incorporated in the Droid’s 2.1 update chances looked unfavorable that the Droid would ever be getting the flashy backdrops. That is until today, because a new build of the Droid’s upcoming 2.1 update was leaked over at droid life and happened to come packed with just this feature. The build seems to run fairly smoothly considering it’s still a prerelease. However there are only three homescreens instead of the five screens that will hopefully come in the final build. Just because the build receives the Nexus One’s live wallpapers, doesn’t mean you should expect that it will get the spiffy 3D launcher of the Nexus.
Hit the more button for the video of it running and then leave a comment telling us what you think about the build.
