[Q] Google Plus Sharing Small Images

When I share photo's on Google Plus, they only share as very small images. I don't think it used to happen on my SGSII and it isn't happening on my brothers Nexus S using the same network and all.

There are no settings within the app that I can see. Am I alone in this, or is it a Galaxy Nexus issue?

Anyone know why it would be doing this?

I have also noticed this.

It only seems to upload 320x240 pictures to Google+ if you upload manually. If instant upload is enabled, it uploads full size pictures. But this is of no use to those of us who do not want to upload every picture to Google+ via Instant Upload

I don't think that's it. I've had instant upload on for most of the week and it's posted them as small images. I've then turned them off today and just shared from my phone and they're still small.

Just now I've sync'd all images from my phone, when sharing one of them from my laptop, it posted a full size image.

Confusing...

I have to say - that's not consistent with my experience.

I have found that when using instant upload, my pictures are full size. But when not using instant upload, all pictures are 320x240. like this

For me over the past few days, it hasn't helped either way. For a week I've been on instant and that's when people have pointed out to me my pics are small

I've swapped to not instant... same issue.

Well, it is a most annoying bug. I had noticed though, that even on the Nexus S it would only upload small images when on manual upload. My Nexus S would upload 640x480 pictures though, strangely.

Smaller images here too. Manual upload.
Must be a Nexus bug

Make sure your Google+ is updated. Recent update introduced high resolution pictures I believe.

I just got a brand new Galaxy Nexus GSM from the Play Store and all my images are being uploaded to Google+ as 320x240. I called 1-855-83-NEXUS (63987) and the support rep suggested to transfer them to my computer and then upload to Google+ from there. He didn't even suggest to turn on instant upload and do it that way which is far easier anyways.

Anyways, point being that this is stock ICS (4.0.4) with latest G+ app and this is happening by default. Is anyone else who purchased this from the Play Store having this issue?
