Hi All,
Been messing around with the Galaxy Nexus for a few days now and am more and more wanting to find a way to sync full resolution camera shots to the cloud automatically. I was thinking about just using dropbox + dropsync but the 2gb size limit wasnt too desirable for me.
NOW.. the newest version of the google+ app states in the release notes that instant upload now will do it in full resolution. I've tested it a dozen times and all photos are still being resized to the x2048 size.
Anyone have any luck with full sized photo syncing? I'd like to use the google+ app but non-full resolution isnt a viable backup option IMO.

Any reason why the latest google+ release notes said full resolution image upload however instant upload photos are still compressed down to 2080x?
I really was excited to think that I could use the google+ app as a cloud based backup of my photos... looks like I will still rely on photocloud.
Thoughts?
I have wondered the same thing. Also, are previously backed up photos (with version 1 of google plus instant upload) are they re-uploaded in higher resolution? Or do I have to pull them off the instant upload folder and force it to re-sync?
when you download it form google + its the full pic

That is incorrect. I just used the "Download Full Size" in google+ and it gave me a file that was compressed and resized down to 2080x.
Pictures are automatically resized to 2048 pixels on their longest edge.

I am paying for 80GB of storage. Why are my images resized and reduced to lower quality?
Because they are crappy noisy smartphone pictures anyway? You can still manually upload the full res image to picasa if you are convinced that it is good enough to store it at 5 MP.
So I don't get to have a choice because you think my camera is crappy? Google wants me to buy storage. They should encourage me to upload full resolution photos. Thanks very little for your useless reply.
You still replied
Anyway, I know the camera is crap, I've got one in my pocket.
yeah it is. but still
So recently I've noticed that when my wife and I exchange video messages via stock, chomp, handsent, or gosms messengers, no matter what the mms configuration is. They alway show up grainy and in one occasion with handsent as a GIF.
So I'v noticed that when I choose to shoot video from within gosms the video settings in the video app are set to mms mode making the video resolution the lowest it can possibly be, so no matter what I set gosms to the initial video is still very low res.
My question is.
Is there a mod or a way to change this so that the video can be taken at a higher resolution.
assuming there are no problems with the phones and you are just annoyed at the lower quality of videos sent between phones, then you are probably stuck. Video takes up a lot of memory and bandwidth. You are better off uploading a better quality video to youtube and then sending her the private link to view it on her phone. There are other cloud options/websites as well for videos
It will still hog the data though.
Perhaps somebody else can chime in with a better solution

No theres nothing wrong with the phone. Its annoying because the video is unwatchable, you can't even make out faces.
the worst part is my iphone 4 did a better job. so far though thats the only thing the iphone was better at.
Im not worried about the bandwidth, I'm on the rogers 6gb promotional plan.
currently the best way i can come up with to share a video is with dropbox. specially considering they just rewarded me with an extra 50gb of storage for free.
heres a pick of the cam app when im taking a video for mms. Im not looking for 720p or anything but a step up from this would make a world of difference.
thats 176x144

It would be nice if I could just edit a file somewhere that would set the mms video size to at least double what it is now.
Wanted to know if it is just me
WHen I upload photos to facebook using the FB app, the quality loss is horrendous. I'm talking if I re download the posted photo off of a friend's wall, it is around 100 kb, resolution of 960x540 (although the photo on my phone is 2 mb), it looks like absolute ****, pixelated, not big enough (even when full screened)
has this happened to anyone? I have tried uploading to FB right from the gallery, and uploading from the FB app, same thing
Any ideas? Thanks

Of course, from my PC, the same photo (uploaded to google drive, then FB) uploads fine to FB, in full quality/resolution
Doesn't that happen with all smartphone uploads? To get the full 100% quality you need to go on your computer and create an album and check the quality button.
Sent from my HTC One M8
hmm, i dont think so, maybe back in the day. It is all high quality now, if I upload right to fb from my computer (without checking high quality) it is fine. And my past phones never had this problem, it just this this. Trust me when I say the quality is terriblee in comparison
oddly enough, problem is solved if i upload from facebook.com mobile site from my google chrome app
must be the FB app then..
Is anybody able to view their panoramic photos in the photos app through daydream? I see only 4 out of 20 of my panoramic pictures. Nothing about these photos is different from the rest. The app simply doesn't show any other photos. One of the photos comes up as extremely blurry and never clears up.
Is there a specific folder that daydream is looking at when choosing which photos to look at through daydream?
I don't like Samsung because they always release unfinished, untested, and unbaked products, and for the first time I'm starting to feel that about Google with the daydream view considering how many other little issues I've noticed. If the software or hardware isn't ready, than you're better off not releasing it, rather than frustrating people.
Is there a contacts app that lets you use 1080p pictures or higher? It would be cool if it could backup up co tact's with the full res pictures too.
EDIT: Wrong post.
