Struggling with Telegram.
-
"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.
-
@dtarrant OK thanks for that. So it might be an issue with the ubports telegram app, though what I'm not sure. @Flohack mentions it not conrcting to all the data centers above. If you have time could you follow his advice and post the logs from logviewer when the app hangs. It might help solve this.
-
@lakota Over the recent few days when Ubports telegram stopped working, I noticed that telegram.org was down. When it came back the FAQ page reported there had been a major outage due to loss of power in Amsterdam. I assume that this was responsible for my problems.
-
@dtarrant OK great. Have you tried the ubports app again
-
Yesterday, after the Telegram outage was fixed, I lost connection to Telegram servers with both 15.04 and 16.04 devices, using different networks, at the same time, but I could use Telegram in my desktop (Debian) maybe because I was log in already.
The only suspicious message I could find was this (and I don't know if it's really related):
Type error: Cannot read property 'registered' of nullWhen trying to open the Telegram app, I was welcomed just by a blank screen.
I deleted
/home/phablet/.config/com.ubuntu.telegram/[phone_number]/authand automagically I've received a new code (in my Telegram desktop client). I entered that code in the phone, and Telegram is alive and kicking again.Why that problem happened in the first place, I don't know, but I think something went very wrong with yesterday's Telegram outage.
-
@lakota Yes, still working fine.
-
@lakota I've installed logviewer, but not sure how to use it. Can't see telegram in list of logs. Please advise. Thanks.
