LinkedIn For Blackberry App Won’t Connect

Not a real blog posting today, but instead, a potential solution to a bug in the newly released LinkedIn App for the Blackberry.

If you are getting a constant error telling you: "Unable to login: Unable to connect to LinkedIn. Please check your connection and try again" give the following a try.

Go to Options and deselect WiFi. The app seems to try WiFi if it smells any signal at all, even if you can't connect. In the case of a network that you can't connect to, it just errors out that your password doesn't match.

Give this a try and leave me a comment letting me know if it works for you.  Also, if you have any other comments on the LinkedIn for Blackberry, fire away.  I’ll be reviewing it soon.

  1. hello there,

    took me some time to figure it out, your blog helped out quite a lot. Although, it didn't work exactly as your advise, it put me in the right direction. In the end I had to deselect both the wifi and the BES option, then it started working..

    Now on for some serious networking...

  2. Thanks for the comment and for the tip! It looks like the key is to deselect options until you find the one(s) that work. For whatever reason, the app doesn't just keep rolling past the non-functioning ones.

    Hope they squash this bug soon.
