Some applications on my phone (e.g. Maps) show a wrong picture for my user account. Specifically, an old picture is shown instead of last one I put on my Google+ account. How can I fix this?
I use a LG-P692 (Gelato) phone.

1It might take a while for the sync to happen, what's in your Settings > Accounts & Sync, is it active? Auto Sync checked? (this is on GB)– t0mm13bCommented Oct 7, 2012 at 22:48

@t0mm13b: I have a widget on the launcher with a shortcut to enable and disable the synch setting. I activate it when my WiFi is on. Then actually I changed my profile picture before buying the phone (which is my 1st Android device). So it looks like a mulfunction on the Google side. That is the reason of my question.– igiCommented Oct 8, 2012 at 19:48

Your Google profile picture and your Google+ account CAN have different pictures. I'm sure most other Google apps probably use the Google profile picture. Make sure they are the same.
I found the workaround using the Google Talk app:
- Open Google Talk;
- Click on your user profile thumbnail;
- Click on the profile picture and select Change;
- Browse for the picture and select it.
After a while with Sync option on, then the updated picture is shown on other apps.

The problem with this workaround is that the uneven picture gets back when the phone is restarted...– igiCommented Oct 27, 2012 at 20:08
