Since updating to 15.0 on my Sony tablet, game will not start. When tapping the icon to open the game a black screen appears for a few seconds then closes back to the tablet home screen. Tried several times to uninstall and re-install with the same effects. There are many people having this same issue with different devices running android. See the Forums for more info.

I have no third party packs installed. I completely uninstalled the app and using my file management app deleted all files to insure a clean install. Re-installed MCPE from Google Play store. MCPE still refuses to open. As stated above only a black, blank screen appears for a few seconds then disappears back to the tablet home screen.
Same problem for me, nothing I've done fixes it (uninstall, reinstall, reset to factory settings...anything).
Please provide the full make and model of your device and version of your operating system by going to settings, about device. For example, Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8) android 5.1.1.
Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread Walt, but for me:
ASUS Transformer TF101
Android 4.0.3
(which worked fine until I updated top MCPE 0.15.0)
We have Sony S tablets (both now not accessing MCPE) - Android version 4.0.3.
Ever since the update introducing realms, whenever we try to open MCPE it hangs on a black screen for a few seconds then goes back to the home screen.
We have not been able to open it for over 3 months now and my children are getting rather upset.
I am too scared to update the iPad in case it stops working also!!
The last version to work on the Sony S tablets was v0.14.3.... every update since that version has resulted in the black screen/not opening problem.
I have installed every update so far, and tried all the suggestions on various threads, but nothing is yet to work. Latest update installed this morning on the Sony S tablet was v0.15.6.
Moto Xoom 0.15.9 crash log
Hi Mods, something that might help in terms of where to start looking at a fix: in previous versions, I was able to find the Mojang games folder on my Tablet...now with 0.15.xx I can't find anything at all. I've downloaded the game alright, but I'm not even sure if the game is installed (other than the screen shortcut which is supposed to launch the game).
Not sure if it's relevant at all, but it's a noticeable change from previous editions.
0.15.10 still broken on Moto Xoom running Android 4.4.4.
0.16.0.5 still broken on Moto Xoom
Please remove any third party mods and texture packs you may have installed and used in prior versions. They are no longer compatible in the same way. Please comment if this fixes the issue or if you don't have any such things installed.
