Default Refresh contact pictures

Hi to all,a simple question,when i connect my fb account for the first time,the most part of my contacts syncronize with their contropart pictures in facebook.
At that point i think that when someone change his picture,at the next syncronization,i can find this pictures correctly set with his account.....but this doesn't happen......
There is something i must do to refresh the photo of my contacts?

Go into People > Select the Online Directories icon at the bottom > Click FaceBook > it should begin to refresh automatically but you can hit Menu and then refresh to force it.

You can select a single contact to view them and then hit refresh to update that specific person.

Hope that helps.

I have the same problem, when I go to online directories and refresh it, it shows the correct pictures, but when I go back to the people tab, for some people it shows correctly the new pictures, but for others the old ones.

so it doesnt update them automatically? are the photos stored on the phone?

Also another question...i note when i link my google contacts to facebook ones it added the reference in the notes section on the google contact. Does this mean if I reset the phone and downloaded contact/facebook sync again it would match them together?

My issue is more to do with the favorites widget, I can refresh my facebook contacts fine and all the photos are up to date but when i go back out to the main screen to my favorites widget the photos are same as when i first synced the phone any body got an idea what i can do?
its really annoying me they should be updated automatically anyways!

anybody know of a widget similar to the HTC favorites one?
