S3 & Android 4.3, constant phantom download notifications
I upgraded my S3 a couple of days ago and have noticed an irritating problem every since completing the upgrade. I keep getting repeated "phantom" download notifications for an image I initially download many months ago. I have since deleted the image, but the notifications continue, sometimes as rapid as 3 or 4 within a few seconds. I don't know if this problem is actually eating any of my data usage yet.
Where can customers provide official feedback to responsible parties about adverse problems with a software upgrade?

To get rid of the phantom downloads, go to the downloads app and clear everything out. If that doesn't work, go to settings > more > application manager > swipe over to all > scroll down to download manager and hit clear cache. This should do the trick for you.
