LinkedIn contact syncing broken?

[michail71]

Can anyone confirm if they are able to sync LinkedIn contacts to your phone? I can't get it to work. I'm not sure if it's a Dev Preview issue or something else going on.

I started this thread Unable to sync LinkedIn contacts - Microsoft Community

I am facing the same problem indeed. It is now impossible to sync my own contact with the one I have on LinkedIn. I have checked all what I could check, both on my mobile (a new Lumia 930) and in the settings of my LinkedIn account and did not find a solution. This was working in the past on an older Lumia 800. Did something changed somewhere in LinkedIn?

I'd encourage anyone to follow the link to the report I posted and vote a me too on it. MS seems to be ignoring the bug. My experience is if they ignore a bug this long it becomes a permanent feature. Unless the tech press gets involved somehow.

The LinkedIn syncing was a really cool feature too. Made it a good business friendly feature. Much more so than Facebook.

From user reports it seems the sync still works on WP7 devices. Only problem is on wp8.1. Not sure about 8.0.

Over two months and still can't get LinkedIn syncing to work.
