Q&A: Why won’t my LG G3 phone connect to the Internet?

Posted on September 8, 2015

Question from Gina: Hi Rick. I need help!!! I have an LG G3 phone with 4G-LTE. For the last few days I’ve been unable to connect to the Internet over the Sprint network.

The phone gives me an error message stating that it’s unable to connect to the network. I can make and receive phone calls just fine and I can use the Internet with Wi-Fi. It just won’t connect to the Sprint network.

I’ve checked all the settings and nothing seems to be set incorrectly. Can you tell me how to fix this?

Q&A: How’s the best way to keep my iPhone charged up during a 3 day camping trip?

Posted on August 27, 2015

Question from Eileen J.: Hi Rick. My husband and I are planning a three day camping trip in the Alabama woods for a little over a month from now.

I know I’ll end up spending a lot of time Facebooking and playing games on my iPhone while we’re there because I always get bored after just a couple of hours.

My problem is my phone’s battery always dies on the first day and I don’t have a way to charge it back up. Can you tell me the best way to keep it charged for the entire three days without having to spend an arm and a leg?

We’ll have a usable cell signal where we’re going, but we won’t have an electrical outlet to plug a charger into or handy access to our vehicle for using a car charger. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Q&A: How do I install the free upgrade to Windows 10 on my new laptop?

Posted on August 25, 2015

Question from Anicka T.: I recently noticed that Amazon was selling the ASUS ROG G751JL FHD laptop for $200 off, so I orderd one. I received it this morning.

When I ordered it Amazon said it qualifies for the free upgrade to Windows 10, but I don’t see the icon to click to upgrade it, and I don’t see an upgrade for it in Windows Update either.

Is there something special that I need to do in order to install the Windows 10 upgrade?

Q&A: How do I get the WP-PageNavi plugin to work with the Genesis framework?

Posted on August 20, 2015

Question from Darrell W.: I’ve used the awesome WP-PageNavi plugin to add fancy navigation to my WordPress blogs for years, but I recently switched a couple of my blogs to the Genesis Framework and I can’t seem to get the plugin to work.

I’ve activated the plugin and double-checked all the settings, but the blogs still display the usual “Previous” and “Next” links at the bottom of the pages.

My question is how do I get the WP-PageNavi plugin to work with the Genesis framework? Thanks for your guidance in advance.

Question from Mary Jo: I have a photo in one of my Facebook photo albums that I’d like to use as my profile picture. How can I make that picture my profile pic without losing the Likes and Comments that people have left on it?

The photo in question is of my mom (who has passed on) and there are over 200 Likes and tons of wonderful Comments on it. I’d really like to make it my profile picture but ONLY if I can keep it as-is in the album. Thanks for your help.
