Question Facebook link contact photos

Ok so I'm sure we all enjoy the facebook link and how it automatically adds the persons FB photo.
The problem I've noticed is that not all of them are updating when a friend changes their photo on their profile.
Anyone know any way to refresh a contacts photo?

It sounds like an issue with Google and Facebook syncing. There's multiple threads on Google's forums and it's affecting multiple handsets, not just the MTS.

Well I just found out the hard way that deleting the sync account and re-adding does not work. Now all of my Facebook contacts are missing.

Anyone know how to get my contacts back??

Remove the face book account then re add facebook if that doesn't work then hard reset the phone.

I am trying one more thing first. I saw a fix somewhere else, basically removing the sync account and also removing the app on the facebook website also. Its syncing now, if it works I'll report back. Otherwise its hard reset.

From what else I'm reading in forums, its a common HTC issue.
