How to maintain Telegram to stay logged in permanently Ubuntu Touch phone?

Question

How do make Telegram app not to log out after few hours? I have tried:

• re-install of app (wiping local & cached folders)
• factory reset phone (wiping all data)
• deleting history of Telegram chats & deleting most of them

However the process is still repeating - after few hours I'm logged out (see screenshot). Then I need to send request, receive SMS or phone call, type in pin and telegram is running for few minutes/hours.

Telegram app version 1.3.20.114 (issue also happen with previous version) Phone BQ 4.5 Ubuntu 15.04 (r24)(issue also happen with previous version)

Solution

Sorry for the experience. We should release the fix some time this month hopefully. We've noticed this issue affected people from China/Taiwan/Australia region, which is particularly weird. I hope the rebase on TelegramQML, which is some new glue code, will make the problem go away.

In terms of notifications, they're delivered through Ubuntu push server, but the fact that they're still coming down, and the app seems to have signed out is indeed particularly weird.

Then you Maarten. I have tried cancelling all other sessions, then login out of my PC Telegram - I had no active sessions and then registered again in Ubuntu Touch. The session lasted about 30sec, then logout again. Also, in ubuntu when I'm logged out, new messages are still coming in notification - so I'm able to read it's preview in notification bar. Icons on the side also shows number of new messages, yet I'm not able to use the app as it shows not authorised!

Hi Alex, thanks for your input. You're correct this would solve the notification issue, but this is not what my problem is. In fact my notifications are still running, while the app is logged out!

Thank you Karni. I must be glitch on Asian server as I was able to create new profile in Europe and use it on Telegram Touch App perfectly. Yet it would refuse to stay logged in when in Europe. I would have thought, it's the geographical issue - loging from one region to another, but now when back in Australia the problem stays and I'm forced to use WebTelegram. The notifications still works, but the app will log out :-( Looking forward to TelegramQML

Hi Pavel, I know I've mentioned this before, but we're very close to releasing an update. Please stay tuned!
