"Your Message Has Been Read" messages from Samsung Galaxy User

I have an iPhone, my friend has a Samsung Galaxy S4.  Randomly, I will receive what looks like a text message from him saying "Your message to 555-555-5555 has been Read". (that's not his real phone number )
In his messaging app, he does not even see this appear at his end, so it's not like he's typing it out.  It doesn't even register as a message from his end.  It seems to happen randomly with messages, but much more frequently if I send him a picture message.
I have swapped my iPhone with a new one under warranty including a new sim card, plus I've updated from iOS 6 to iOS 7, and it still happens.
On his Galaxy, he has Delivery Reports disabled under his settings.  On my iPhone 4S, I have read receipts disabled as well.
He claims it's me requesting a read receipt, I claim it's his phone sending it to me.  Either way it's annoying as ****!  The fact that it doesn't show up in his messages app makes me think it's something behind the scenes or carrier related.  I'm on Rogers, he's on Telus.
Can anyone help me figure out how to disable these messages from coming in?
Here are pictures to show what I mean:

My sister is getting about 1 message per minute. She has a Samsung Galaxy II or III. I have an LG G2.
   "Your message to (phone #) has been Read"
When I turn on "Airplane mode" on my phone, she stops receiving these text messages, so it's likely my phone.
The issue started when I did a restore of my phone yesterday evening from an backup I created a few hours earlier. The backup utility was LG's backup.
I do have MightyText, but haven't used it in a while. I might try uninstalling it to see if it helps, but I don't think it's related to MightyText. I check "Battery" to see which apps are using my battery to find the culprit, but found nothing unusual.
I'd appreciate any help.

    How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    As long as you had the Android data synced with your Google account, they should be there when you sync it on your new phone. That is by far the easiest way.
    I think there is also an import/export option when you hit the menu button in the contacts app. and you could export them to SD card and import them on the new phone using the same SD card.
    Or you can use Mobile Transfer to transfer data between Android smartphone. It is really simple, follow this guide to move contacts from Samsung S3 to iPhone 5.

  • I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

    I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

    Quoted from their FAQ's:
    I got an error message saying my device is blocked. Why did this happen?
    There are two reasons this could happen: You have deleted your account or you have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    - You have deleted your account.
    When you delete your account, you agree that your device would be blocked for at least one month. This policy is enforced in order to protect users from stalkers. (If the system allowed users to create and delete their accounts any time they wanted, the Block feature would be compromised and wouldn't be able to protect users effectively.) Please understand this is not a punishment but a security measure intended to keep all of our users safe.
    - You have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    Users of this mobile application are required to comply with our terms of service and instructions provided by our service team. The most common violations include, but are not limited to: Creating multiple accounts, uploading pictures not complying with our terms, and abusing the Report feature. In most situations, you will get a warning before you are banned from the app. If you receive a warning from our service team, please read it carefully and take it seriously. If anything is not clear, please contact user support for clarification.

  • I got the message "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network" from blackberry?

    So I got my curve 9360 about 3 months ago and last night I got a message from blackberry saying "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network". I don't have a data plan but after I got this message I was able to go on the internet without wifi.. I thought it was extremely weird and I was scared my carrier, Rogers, will charge me so I turned my data off. I asked my dad today and he said I could use it and we won't pay if they charge me.. I'm still really worried that I'll get a ridicous bill at the end of the month. So why did I randomly get data and will it charge me? What should I do? 

    I've heard through the Rogers support forums that Rogers is offering a free data trial to its users.  I haven't seen anything official yet, but I've heard that on atleast two occasions so far.
    For that reason, I would go ahead and enjoy your free data while it lasts.  If you're really worried about it, call Rogers to confirm it.  Just remember, you never signed a data plan agreement with them so they can't charge you for it.
    I hope that helps you.

    Hi,
    for Iphone tips page "see when a message was sent " , then how do I know that the message has been read? Thanks  

    Hi Bhavesh,
    Please see my replies inline:

    When I click on "Where did the error occur" -> "Adapter Engine", I do not have a choice of errors from the dropdown. I only see one option "*".
    Is this right?
    > 2. ><i>When I click on "Alert Inbox" ->

    I see.
    I've also managed to overcome this problem by selecting "Subscription Authorization" in the Alert Category Definition page, and entering SAP_XI_MONITOR as one of the roles.
    After that, I am able to see a the alert category defined. By default it's already subscribed, because I'm using the same user - PISUPER.
    I saw in another post that the option "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this Rule" should be left unchecked. I tried that, but I still do not see any alerts raised in ALRTDISP.
    What did I miss?
    Please help.
    Thanks.

  • Disable "Your site has been published" Message

    Does anyone know how to turn off the Your site has been published message? Every time you upload a change to mobileme this obnoxious message pops up which is ok once, but after awhile it becomes tedious.

    Nope. It's hardwired into the app.

  • Got a message said "your iphone has been found ,please fill a form "-real or not?

    My friend lost his iphone, his friend got a message said "your iphone has been found ,please fill a form " where you need to provide your icloud confidential .
    Looks really same like the apple office site.
    <Link Edited by Host>

    It is a scam. If your friend gives their Apple ID and passcode, the thieves will be able to bypass the activation lock on the phone.

  • On iTunes, while I will be putting a previous back up on my new 6, an error message saying '"your phone has been disconnected" will appear, but my phone will still be connected and nothing has been touched

  • HT5622 seems like every 3-4 days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been reset,if you didn't change it go to etc'

    ipad 4
    ALmost every few days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been changed.... if you didn't change please go to Apple and change your id password
    I have had to do this for the 7th time in 4 weeks

    If you are receiving e-mail messages that indicate that someone is trying to reset your Apple ID password, they may be phishing scams. Do not click any links in those e-mail messages, and if you make the mistake of doing so, do not provide your current Apple ID password on the page you are directed to.
    Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be done except treat those messages the same way you would any other spam.
    The other possibility is that someone is actually trying to reset your Apple ID password. This may be due to a malicious attack, but more likely, it's just someone who thinks your Apple ID is actually theirs (due to a typo, faulty memory or something similar) and is trying to "regain" access. In any case, this is merely an annoyance, but you can put an end to it by enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. This will require an additional piece of information that only you will possess in order to even start the password reset process.
    If you are actually seeing your password getting changed, and are having to reset it yourself to regain access, you are being hacked. This could be because your password is not strong enough to withstand a brute-force attack by a botnet. It could also be because the attacker already has access to your e-mail address, and is able to intercept the reset e-mail and complete the reset process. Because of that danger, you should change the password for the e-mail account associated with your Apple ID. You should also change the password for your Apple ID, making sure that it is a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication as mentioned above.
