Actually, it was released 2 days ago, I was too busy to get my hands on the update…
For more info on how to update, simply read the previous post at: MOTO Milstone HK update 2.0.1 Released
I notice a few things which has been updated, will make post on that next, when I have a bit more time.
I was hinted by users that 2.1 update for Milestone has been leaked.

Since I am at work now, I did not test it yet, use it at your own risk!

So happy for you two!
Just a reference on getting into Testing Mode on the MOTO Milestone
In phone dialer, dial:
*#*#4636#*#*
You get options like:
– Phone information
– Battery information
– Battery history
– Usage statistics
In Phone information you get to view many internal settings of the phone, like network status/report and signal ref, and you can also set some no so often needed internal settings like SMSC, GSM/WCDMA switch etc.
In Battery information you get to view your battery info.
In Battery history you can see usage in CPU/Network, GPS, Sensor, Partial wake usage and Other usage (like the info you saw in settings battery usage)
In Usage statistics you can view info of usage like App used time, Launch count etc.
Not that much useful for now, but good to keep a reference.
Happy new year of tiger!
May you all hove a very good year, and live healthy and happily!

Last Sunday, me and R went to Lamma Island for a nice weekend holiday..
While I am on the way to the pier, I was trying to get the timetable of the ferry from Central to Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island, after a quick Google search I got some link and the official website of the ferry company….
Most of the links from the results return a 404 error and seems the official site has changed their site layout.. (I find that they changed the layout on Dec 2009, they mention it on their page)
So I go to the official site then….
Instead of a simple welcome page all I got was a big Flash missing icon shown on the Webkit base browser, there is no skip nor other ways of getting into their page….(There is a Skip button, but the button is INSIDE the Flash, well..)
For all Flash content developer out there:
At least add a text hyperlink on your site for user to skip the “So very nice animation(s)” you made, you just cannot expect everyone to go thru your Flash movie before getting to the content!
And the other thing is: As an official website, redirect your old pages is always a good idea, at least a better 404 page redirecting users to main page instead of ugly default Apache error page, please you get paid for your work, don’t be so lazy!
P.S: Oh yes, please DO NOT make everything a PDF, you can add a link for user who wants to download it, but NOT the only way to get the info, why 56KB of PDF instead of 2K HTML?
Just my 2 cents!

Since some older version addon does not work on updated version of Firefox, I have been setting my Firefox to bypass the version checking on addons…
And seems current version (3.6) has change how the setting is set, Googling like 30 secs found the answer but I think it is good to keep a note on it.
>about:config in firefox.
>new boolean extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6 to false
>quit and reload firefox

We have lots of speed up here on the milestone..
The update 2.0.1 which report speed up, camera focus bug fix and better battery performance has been released by Motorola.
What’s noticed after the updated:
– Camera loose focus 29 days bug fixed.
– Response seems smoother on App switch and scrolling.
– Icon of Music app has changed, and bug fix to cover image corrupt bug has been fixed.
– Lock screen changed (Minor)
– Added Setting as “Audio Effects” for tweak settings with wired headphone and build-in speakers.
– Battery life extend ion has to be tested.
Please keep in mind if you want root, please wait, this is an officials update which will keep your milestone to “unroot” until hack is found.
And good thing here is no master reset has to be done on the update, means you do not need to reinstall everything AGAIN, seems 0.1 version is a bug fix minor update there.
Update has to be done on PC side, not OTA, link at:
Motorola – Motorola_Software_Update.exe (17.8 MB)
Click click click as screen prompt will do.
There are reports that device purchase after Jan 2010 cannot update, since the update software check IMEI number and seems some of the IMEI are not in the upgrade list there, my device was purchased on 27 Dec 2009 OP Free from Citilink Mobile store, and I do not have problem on the upgrade.
Update:
Upgrade without problem, the only catch is I loose root, well I can wait on that with the promise speed improve and CAM bug fix.
The following are the screen shots.
P.S: My system locate was set to HK does not means that I want Chinese UI, I really think programmer should let me choose.
P.P.S: Upgrade was smooth and took about 20 mins, good good.
P.P.P.S: Tested for about 30 mins during lunch break, it sure is smoother than 2.0, updated bug fix section above.
EULA, agree, what option do I have here?
Checking update software..
Update found, click to start update.
Update in progress, it also notice while upgrade user will not be able to pick up calls and use the phone.
Done.

Viliv X70 3G, goodbye, you have fulfilled your destiny, now go back to the source.
So long, we have a good time.

Yeah, the tool chain is just great, took only like 3 mins to do the root.
1/: Download the file update.zip update.zip (30MB mediafire)
2/: place the file to root of sdcard
3/: boot the phone in recovery mode, first switch off the phone, power on by holding Camera AND Power Button, Hold until you see a screen of a ! with phone icon.
4/: Release Cam AND Vol button, now tricky part, try press Volume + button and Cam button together (tricky to do, as it must be press at a same time, you can take your time to try until it works), a Recovery Menu will be shown.
5/: Using Keyboard Up Dn to select update.zip, and center to confirm update, it should take like a minute or less, after that it will shown done.
6/: Reboot your phone by select reboot in recovery menu, done done.
For the one who have no idea why root, please see Wiki Android – Why Root.
Now we are waiting cooked ROM for 2.0.1 and 2.1…
Special thanks and credits to hacker NATRON and the others!
