Android help needed: App that cleans up the Contacts mess that the LinkedIn app left behind
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/07/23
It seems LinkedIn doesn’t react to my tweet for help, so maybe you can provide me (paid) with a custom build of Contact Remover Plus.
This is my problem: https://twitter.com/jpluimers/status/225625536976793600
The LinkedIn Android app has created dozens of LinkedIn links and photo links to many of my contacts.
This renders many functions on my phone unusable:
- loading the native People app takes minutes
- Contacs cannot be synced my Google account any more
- making a backup fails
- I cannot edit contacts in the Android People app any more
- calling a phone number usually takes more than 30 seconds, often more than a minute
- etc.
I tried to count this for one particular contact with the “Contact Remover” App: His contact has so many pages of photos and LinkedIn links that I cannot count them any more. They are at least dozens, probably more than 100 of each.
I’m using an HTC Sensation phone with a regular Android 4 firmware.
With Android development, I haven’t don’t anything yet with the Contacts API yet, and don’t have the time to do so in short term.
I’m willing to pay for an App that:
- removes all LinkedIn links for all contacts
- removes all LinkedIn photos for all contacts
Anyone?
