Motorola Droid or Milestone Multimedia Dock Crashing After Android 2.1 Update?

I just got the Android 2.1 update on my UK Motorola Milestone (identical to the

Motorola Droid Milestone 2.1 Update Multimedia Station
Motorola Droid Milestone 2.1 Update Multimedia Station Crash Fixed

Motorola Droid, aside from some loaded software, and being GSM) and it fixes a ton of little things and add some nice new features that users have been requesting. But the moment I put it into my Droid dock (which is awesome for space savers like myself) it immediately crashed the dock/station application. Here’s the fix, which for some reason is nearly impossible to find in English. If for some reason you would rather read it in Portuguese, it is available here.

From the Home Screen go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

Select  Menu Button > Filter -> All

Select “Base Multimedia” or “Multimedia Station” and select Clear Data.

Go back to the Home Screen and insert the handset into the dock.

Voila, no crash!

    Even as I like a bodily keyboard, after handling the Samsung Captivate for about 15 minutes, it’s exhausting to go back. At this time I am debating whether or not to go to Verizon for the Droid X, cross to Dash for the EVO, or stay with AT&T for the Captivate…choices, decisions.
