Struggling with Telegram.
-
Hi
So I deleted my Telegram account yesterday, because I couldn't get it to accept my username...
I haven't been able to reinstate it.
I've
rm -rf .cache/com.ubuntu.telegram
and
rm -rf .config/com.ubuntu.telegram
in the TerminalI've even deleted the Telegram .config folder.
I can get past the White Screen of Oblivion, but it just hangs when I've tapped in my phone number. Then, if I close the app and open it again, I get the WSoO...
I'm slowly going mad with going round in circles... Any help finding the solution would be appreciated.

Are you on 16.04?
-
Hi @flohack - thanks for charging to the rescue!No, I'm still on 15.04 (r285) on my N5.

@3arn0wl try this:
-
Uninstall Telegram app
-
Delete
.cache/com.ubuntu.telegramand.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 Are you registered already on Telegram with this No?
-
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.
-
@3arn0wl sorry for asking again but did you reboot the phone? This step is very important.
-
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?

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