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.
