Struggling with Telegram.
-
@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 : ) -
All suggestions are gratefully received, @lakota! I'll give it a go. Thank you. -
I once had the problem hanging after entering the phone number. I cant remember anymore what it was what I did wrong... But I think in my case it was (similar to what @advocatux already mentioned) the leading 0 in the phone number that I accidentally entered... Or something like that...
-
Meh! I got as far as entering the code they sent, again... It just hangs then.
Let's face it... Telegram just doesn't like me!
I hope Ivan can get the uMatriks link up and running again soon.
-
@3arn0wl another idea! lol
Try to log in on Telegram's website first.
-
Hey @advocatux - you've been very supportive.
I went to the website, and it said that I needed an account which, in all fairness I do, since I deactivated the last one.
-
@3arn0wl and it didn't work either?
-
"Error
You don't have a Telegram account yet, please sign up with Android / iPhone first. " -
@3arn0wl I'm really out of ideas then. Are you using the same phone number than when you used that account? You had Telegram only in your phone, no?
-
I don't know what I've done, but it seems to be completely messed up, @advocatux. If the best brains of UBports are out of ideas, maybe I'll have to live without Telegram (or get a new sim card).
-
@3arn0wl Can you borrow someones android and recreate your account via that. Even better if they dont already have it on their phone.
Did you just delete the app or the whole telegram account.
Just woundering if you can set up on another phone to get a new account and user name then come back to ubports and you would know the account and phone details where sound.
I've just deleted telegram from another phone to run through the setup but as soon as I installed it again the account came back so that didn't help.
I've set up telegram before on one phone but using the details of another. So after entering the number 447--- whatever on phone A in the next step the code gets sent to phone B via sms and you can enter it in phone A. Before trying delete the app again from tor ubports phone restart it, re install Telegram.
I know you've tried most of this before so feel free to ignore this and shout very loudly ----. Off Telegram ; ) there must be an answer somewhere but I'm buggered where : ) -
Hi @lakota. I deleted the account because it wouldn't let me set a username for some reason: yes - I am bugged by Telegram. Can we all just move to Matrix?
What I'll probably do is get another sim card and try again with that. I don't know, but I can't believe it's a UT issue.
-
@3arn0wl No nor me. I've had no issues with the new app. But on occasion with the old web apps. If I can think of anything else I'll come back. I've even woundered if cleaning the sim card and port would help. But why would it. All the best on your quest.
-
Ok, I will wait then...

@3arn0wl Hi @3arn0wl Telegram stopped working on my M10 yesterday, but it still works on my android phone. I've tried all the tricks suggested in this thread, but the installation always hangs. Sometimes I've got as far as being sent a code to enter, but after entering, it still hangs. Previously telegram was working fine on my tablet. Don't know why it died. Did you ever get it to work?
-
@dtarrant Well I'm amazed! During the time I was typing my previous post, I left telegram hanging. When I got back to telegram, it requested a code which was sent to my android phone. I entered the code and telegram sprang to life on my tablet! Telegram is now working fine again on my tablet.
-
@dtarrant Hi, Which app are you using? This might help narrow it down. I just tried all 3 in the openstore and they all still work so far. Can you see if telegram is still running for you on another device. Just noticed in the of topic group domeone having issues with lubuntu as well.
-
@lakota Hi @lakota, on my M10 tablet I'm running the telegram app by the Ubports Telegram Team. Telegram is still running OK on my android phone.
-
@dtarranttestThanks for that. Can you see if you can set up one of the other web apps on ubports as a test, when you gave time no rush. : )
Also are you on stable, RC or dev. -
@lakota Hi @lakota, I've just installed Telegram Web App by Jorge Ulbricht and it seems to be working fine. I'm running stable on my M10.
