Struggling with Telegram.
-
I followed your instructions to the letter, @advocatux - I'll try it again. -
Nope - it's still hanging on the phone input page.
-
@3arn0wl sorry to hear that. The Telegram app version you're trying to run is 2.5.3.2, no?
-
Yes it is, @advocatux.
-
@3arn0wl I got I new idea! Search in
.cache/QML/Apps/if there's an old telegram folder. -
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.
-
@3arn0wl oh so close... Did you delete that folder and the other two in
.cacheand.configand followed "my instructions" again? -
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:
-
I did, @advocatux -
@3arn0wl Yes clearly it can be seen that it wont connect to all DCs - where do you live?
BR
-
I'm sorry to be causing so much trouble, @flohack.
I'm in Cambridge, UK.
-
@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?
-
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. -
@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))? -
I am, @advocatux - and it's a number that I registered with Telegram just before I deleted the account, because I'd recently changed my sim.
I'm slightly worried that I might have deleted a telegram folder that I shouldn't have, on the assumption that the OS wouldn't have come with any Telegram folders... I can't remember whether it was in .config or .cache, but it was something like "Telegram World"... If I need that folder, how can I get it back?
-
@3arn0wl did you change the sim and kept the phone number? or you changed the phone number as well? If you changed it, which phone number are you using for registration? The old one or the new one?
Don't worry about the folders, I have deleted them several times without any problem. A fresh Telegram install should create all the things it needs.

Hi,
Trying to useTelegram client in Russia
-
installed
-
entered phone number - frozen at applying phone number
-
killed application and started again - frozen with white screen
-
found this thread
and applied your advices, though in wrong order maybe
restarted phone
removed three folders (.cache/ ... and ./config/ ... com.ubuntu.telegram)
removed application
removed filders again
restarted phone
reinstalled application
restarted phone
started application -
and again the same behaviour:
entered phone number - frozen at applying phone number
killed application and started again - frozen with white screen
I know this story about blocking Telegram in Russia. Actually I see it in the news all the week.
Any chance to start it ?
Is the client updated as all mainstream clients?Cheers,

@shwewl_1 said in Struggling with Telegram.:

I don't think it has something to do with your problem but just for your information, telegram app development in UT is way far from upstream.
-
@3arn0wl I apologize for butting in on this, but have you tried swopping back to the stable channel and trying from there. I can vaguely remember having an issue with Telegram hanging at set up a long time back and that sorted it. I have no idea why or how. Also is the problem with the other web apps for Telegram in the app store or just the telegram for ubuntu phone one.
Sorry if you've already tried this but you never know : )
