Struggling with Telegram.
-
@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.
-
@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.
