Struggling with Telegram.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl try this:

• Uninstall Telegram app

• Delete .cache/com.ubuntu.telegram and .config/com.ubuntu.telegram

• REBOOT the phone

• Install Telegram app again

• (If everything goes as it should go) Enter your login data in Telegram

• Profit!

@3arn0wl said in Struggling with Telegram.:

15.04 (r285)

What channel is that? "old" devel?

[flohack]

@3arn0wl Are you registered already on Telegram with this No?

[A Former User]

I thought you'd sorted me, @advocatux! I hadn't deleted the .cache file. But no, it's still hanging on the phone number input.

@Flohack - I think I've used this number with Telegram, yes.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl sorry for asking again but did you reboot the phone? This step is very important.

[A Former User]

I followed your instructions to the letter, @advocatux - I'll try it again.

[A Former User]

Nope - it's still hanging on the phone input page.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl sorry to hear that. The Telegram app version you're trying to run is 2.5.3.2, no?

[A Former User]

Yes it is, @advocatux.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl I got I new idea! Search in .cache/QML/Apps/ if there's an old telegram folder.

[A Former User]

Well well well, @advocatux! You get the Saturday evening prize for finding folders!!

That got me through to the sign in page, and I got a code, but it then didn't do the last bit.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl oh so close... Did you delete that folder and the other two in .cache and .config and followed "my instructions" again?

[flohack]

There are rare cases where Telegram does not find all datacenters. Can you please install logviewer App and make a log upload right after it hangs, and send the pastebin link? thx.

@flohack I don't know whether I've done this correctly - it's a bit new to me:

[A Former User]

I did, @advocatux

[flohack]

@3arn0wl Yes clearly it can be seen that it wont connect to all DCs - where do you live?

[A Former User]

I'm sorry to be causing so much trouble, @flohack.

I'm in Cambridge, UK.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl do you have the same problem connecting via data and via wifi? Do you use a VPN?

Have you tried to run Telegram while using different wifi networks?

[A Former User]

Hey @advocatux - thanks for getting back to me. I had no problem running Telegram before on the same setup... except that it would allow me to assign a username.

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl I'm out of ideas then.

Well, a last one before you send the phone to an exorcist are you entering the phone number in the international format (+(country code)(city or carrier code)(your number))?
