When our avatar image is changed, the MXit server will push an ExtendedProfile-Response packet containing just the AvatarId field to the client. This causes the existing cached profile info to be discarded, and only the new AvatarId is cached. (ie, all fields in Accounts->Change Profile become empty). Now when receiving an ExtendedProfile-Response packet for our profile, we only update the existing cached profile with the provided fields.
