Official 2.1 findings thread

[nickf126]

This time I think a pack of wild monkeys some how get loose in the Moto and VZW labs right before the ok is given, killing everyone involved in the project. As the last person left alive is about to push the button to release it, a monkey pulls the cord killing the power, and erasing the entire project, with everyone involved dead and all data lost, 2.1 is set back another 3 months....

Oh man, you made my day with this. True "lol"

They brick it, I get a brand new droid, mmmm new Droiddddd...

Agreed, This one will be shiny.

Funny thing, I just had a replacement Droid shipped to me. The soft keys are purple-ish, the screen is slightly tilted, and there's light leak. THAT is going to be shiny.

We just got the 2.1 update here in Taiwan (Milestone). Download and install went smoothly with a successful conclusion. 5 home screens, but doesn't seem all that different from the 2.01 we were previously on. Will have to do some playing around to see what's what.

Why does the Motorolla support page for Milestone show this, especially the up to 9 screens? Does the voice dialer affect use of bluetooth headsets?

-------------------------------------------------------------
What is the difference between Android 2.0.1 and Android 2.1?

The new software, Android 2.1, enhances the performance of Milestone in various perspectives:
# Live wallpaper support
# Configurable multi home screen panels (up to 9 screens)
# Voice Dialer app (English for HK)
# Motorola Camera app
# Facebook app
# HelpCenter app
# Quickoffice app (viewer only)
# Moto Car Home app
# Additional languages support (Dutch, Portuguese, Greek, Polish, Turkish)

I know Verizon reps are super unreliable, but a tech support lady I just spoke to said with the utmost confidence that Flash is coming with 2.1 (a "big" update) this week. Take this little tidbit of info as you will... Probably not too likely, but reinforces rumors we're currently hearing.

Hate to say it but... No.

First off we don't have flash 10.1 out even from Adobe yet and when 10.1 comes out that is when we are going to get it.

Well apparently they're doing the 1k test user thing again tomorrow... aren't they?

That is what I understand. It may be tomorrow AM and not PM.

I think its 1000 in the AM and 9000 in the PM. If they all go well then they start with 200,000 on Friday, and add 200,000 each day after that till they are done!

Uh... to both of you how can we have flash 10.1 when its not even released... On any phone and don't say the desire either that is flash 7 and mostly made for online videos. If we get flash 7 then cool oh wow oooh ahh not a huge deal (Kind of).

I never said Flash 10.1, did I? Flash is useless anyways. Oh great, Hulu on your phone. Enjoy two episodes of your favorite show before your battery dies. Don't even get me started on Flash games.

I could see Verizon blocking Hulu if they can.
