Liz in Windsor, Ontario Canada listens on AM800 CKLW - The Information Station and asked: "Just over a year ago, I purchased a Garmin Vivo HR fitness tracker. I love it and wouldn't change it for anything. But when I got it, I would get notifications or alerts when I got a text message as well as a phone call. I still get the phone call alerts, but the text messages don't come through anymore. I have all my notifications on, I changed nothing but now my Garmin is not giving me that alert and I'm wondering if you can help."

Liz, Garmin makes great exercise watches from the less expensive ones all the way to the ones that get close the $1000 mark, but they make awful companion apps.

Your first step would be to restart the watch, sometimes a reboot does still help.

Your problem is likely not with the watch itself though, but the app that you use to pair it to the phone.

You can try to delete the watch from the app and re-pair it as if it were a brand new device (frankly, it’s surprising that you haven’t had to do this already since Garmin’s app has a way of forgetting you ever bothered to pair a device to it). Failing that, you may need to reinstall the app itself. Sometimes it’s the only way to get rid of persistent issues like the one you’re facing.

Ed in Brunswick, Georgia listens on 93.7 WBQO - "When you need to know." and asked: "I'm about to travel to Scotland. Dave, when you travel, you're traveling, you always seem to be connected to the Internet. What do you use to be connected to the Internet so you don't have to use hotel Wi-Fi or anything like that?"

Ed, if you want to skip hotel WiFi and roaming charges, the Skyroam Hotspot maybe the answer.

It’s been an Into Tomorrow staple for years and we’ve taken it to China, Korea, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey, and plenty of other places.

The Solis model will get you LTE service all over the world and it will also work as a battery pack to charge your devices.

The way Skyroam works is that you buy day passes for as many days as you’d like to use the device, those are loaded into the unit, and one pass gets you 24 hours of internet access. If you don’t use it, you don’t use up any day passes, they only get deducted if they’re used.

Buying a Solis will cost you $149, and each day pass will cost you $9 for 24 hours. You can also rent the device for $9.95/day including the pass.

The speeds are solid, the device is as easy to use as any WiFi device. You pair it with your phone once and then it will connect when it’s in range, and you can get internet access in more than 120 countries.

Karl in Rapid City, South Dakota listens to the Podcast and asked: "Apple seems to think you want every picture you've ever taken on your iPhone. Just exactly what is the best way to get just a couple photos on your iPhone and the rest of them on your iCloud storage instead of trying to put everything on your iPhone?"
