HTC Tilt 2 Cell Phone Review–Great If You Can Make It Work

via: Mobilewhack

You ever see that old movie Hellraiser? Yeah, the one with the guy with all the pins in his head. You might wonder why I’m making movie references in a review of a cell phone, but you’ll find it’s rather apt in describing the HTC Tilt 2.

The HTC Tilt 2 is a slider style smartphone that boasts the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system right out of the box. This in turn gives you immediate access to several Microsoft systems like Marketplace for Mobile and My Phone backup service. Also, you get mobile web, mobile email, conference call capability, speakerphone, voice recorder, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera, alarm clock, calendar, calculator, MP3 player and a battery capable of generating seven and a half hours of talk time on a single charge.

There’s no doubt that the HTC Tilt 2 has a lot of amazing stuff in here, but you’re probably still wondering about my earlier metaphor. Why is this thing like Hellraiser, you wonder? Because the HTC Tilt 2 is EXACTLY like the puzzle box.

There are incredible things in here–in cell phone terms they’re absolute wonders–but getting into them is incredibly complex and difficult. The controls on the HTC Tilt 2 are also the greatest problem with the whole thing. I had a really tough time getting around on this thing, and that shocked me.

But once you finally manage to get around, the variety of things available here should solve most any problem you may happen to have that can be solved by a cell phone. The HTC Tilt 2 is an incredible phone that just can’t help but get in its own way.

The Good

Dizzying array of tools

The Bad

Getting to them is a hellish ordeal

What is GoogleCrashHandler.exe and how to remove it

People do get freaked out when they see an extreamly suspicious file "GoogleCrashHandler.exe" running on in the processes tab in Task manager and everybody gets a little worried at the thought of it being a virus or spyware of some sort ( i was included in this "everybody" till i read about it at google's support.

According to Google support

"GoogleCrashHandler.exe runs continuously on your computer if you’ve selected to send anonymous usage statistics and crash reports to Google for certain Google software, like Google Chrome. It helps send crash details to Google when your Google software unexpectedly shuts down. We use this data to help determine how to prevent these errors from happening in the future."

To stop GoogleCrashHandler.exe from running you need to turn off the sending of usage statistics and crash reports for all the Google softwares on your computer and if you want to get rid of it permanently you will have to uninstall Google update from your PC.
