Hi all,
Today I was transferring photos from my dad's old phone to his new S3. I plugged the old phone into my computer with the Micro USB cord, dragged the photos onto my desktop, then disconnected the old phone and connected the S3. Then I dragged the pictures in the Camera folder of the S3. When they were done transferring I went to the gallery to make sure they were there.
They were but I then saw the name of my computer in the gallery along with over 2600 pictures from my laptop. I had no idea how the pictures got on there so I than restarted the phone. When it powered back on I went to the gallery to see if the 2600 pictures with my laptop's name were gone. They weren't.
I then noticed a WiFi-ish icon under the group of pictures. I then got the idea that the pictures were sharing wirelessly. When I put my laptop to sleep they went away.
I went into the settings of the S3 and all wireless sharing options were disabled. They were never turned on because I never used them before.
The notification bar now says downloading "305 . . .. and 8 more " (a really long number.)
How do I make it go away? I already tried restarting the phone with my laptop off. I did accidentally press the download button while looking at the pictures because I was trying to figure out what was going on.
Also, how do I stop the phone from finding my laptop pictures? Its really weird and I don't like it
