How to increase size of contact picture on iPhone

Hello:

It used to be that when I received a call, my iPhone would display the contact picture using the entire screen. Since a few weeks ago, the contact image now display as a tiny picture in the top right hand corner, to the right the contact name/info. (This might have started after one of the OS updates, but I'm not sure). Is there any way to fix this.

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Contact photos assigned in your Mac's Address Book and synced to the iPhone will be thumbnails.

Photos assigned on the phone itself will be full screen.

You can edit the photo in your contacts on your phone to use a full-size photo.

Go to the contact with the small photo. Tap the "Edit" button at the top right.

Then tap the photo. From the list that pops up, choose the "Edit Photo" button.

Move and scale as you like and tap "Choose".

Finally, tap the "Done" button at the top right to save your change.

Well all this works, but... Do I have to do it every time I update my iPhone. I recently updated and the pictures returned to the tiny thumbnail.
