Troubleshooting: Contacts

Contact list field data is not appearing on my computer

You can only synchronize the data in a custom contact list field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For example, you cannot add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your BlackBerry® device and synchronize it with the email application on your computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email application on your computer.

My contact pictures keep changing

The contact pictures in applications (for example, in the contacts application), might change if you set more than one application on your BlackBerry® device to replace contact pictures. Depending on how often or how many of your contact pictures are being replaced by other applications, you might experience increased data charges.

To stop contact pictures from changing, you must change the options in each application that is replacing your contact pictures.
