Make sure your settings are correct and call T-mobile support - they can walk you through it. Had some issues with sms/mms using Google Messenger on my Mate 9.... On T-mobile too. Don't know what the issue was. I believe it was addressed in an update, but I had already switched over to Textra.

i have a Mate 9 on T-Mobile, I have used the stock app and Textra and never had any issues with texts.

the stock app works well on my mate 9, but I wish there was an option to repeat the notification sound, on many occasions I have received texts but not heard the notification so because it don't repeat the sound to alert me I have not got any idea I have missed it.
perhaps this is something huawei could address in the future

Textra is it for me.
Never had a problem at all with my Mate 9 on T-Mobile.

Same here. I use stock SMS app and have had no problems. i also use google voice with google voice # and allo. No problems whatsoever.

I use Textra. Also, make sure not to use Ultra Battery because text messages will go back to the stock messaging app. I was beating myself to death trying to figure out why this was happening until I figured it out.

Textra does this very nicely. From the main screen, select the menu button (3 dots) on the upper right, then select SETTINGS, then CUSTOMIZE NOTIFICATIONS, then REPEAT NOTIFICATIONS. You have choices from never, once, twice, 3, 5, 10, and 50 times. I've never tried it out, but I wonder if it just repeats the sounds back to back or if there is any delay. If there is any option for a delay between the notification sounds I haven't found that setting yet.

I discovered that the notification interval is every 2 minutes in Textra. There have apparently been a whole bunch of requests to be able to customize this time interval.

As other people mentioned it...textra is good one. I got one myself with no issues.

Hopefully the app developer will be able to update it.

That sounds like a great feature. I wouldn't mind this

It definitely is. The iPhone stock messaging app has this option which I really liked.

 

[freddyttt]

thanks everyone... Textra it is.

Glad we could be of service!
