It works fine on my phone running Android 6.0, but crashes when launching for my Samsung GTN8013 running Android 4.1.2. Tried the resource packs, uninstall/reinstall, cycling power to tablet - no change. Will try again after next update.

It appears to be Android 4.1 to 4.3 with one outlier that probably isn't using the hotfix update based on analysisof wwording and timing of comments

Confermed on My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 android 4.4.2 SM-T230NU

Its starting to look like Android 4.anything honestly I didn't know that Android 4 had so many variations

My M7-3G Tablet Android 4.4.2 have Black Screen and then close then

I've been trying everything I can think of to make it work and I noticed that one of the permissions doesn't look right:

com.mojang.minecraftpe.permission. C2D_MESSAGE

I suspect that this is a permission that isn't recognized by Android 4 as it's the only one that includes the package name perhaps this is a good starting point for locating the cause of the crash I just hope that it doesn't mean that mcpe is no longer compatible with Android 4

I can confirm Everything. I tried to remove the entire folder (. Com mojang ) and related apps with minecraft but Nothing happened because the game crashes. My android v.4.2.2 and I am sure it is incompatible with minecraft 0.16

Im on a Samsung Galaxy Admire 5.0.1 and it also crashes when I open mcpe beta 1 but my older Samsung Galaxy S4 that is also 5.0.1 runs just fine. I think it needs higher RAM & processor to run 16.0?

@unknown have you checked to see if there is a resource_packs folder that needs deleting/renaming?

I'm on a Nook HD tablet running Android 4.0.4 I'm having the same issue as stated above.

I've noticed in the txt files that all of them are consistent to my phone that works but the options.Txt file is missing data on my tablet and says old_build: 0.15.6 instead of 0.15.90.1 like my phone. And it's missing all of the key bindings recently added in this update

Can you post the content of the working file I might have an idea for a temporary workaround

It won't let me post the txt file even as a zip but I will try the transfer on my tablet today and see if it works

Although thinking about I'm doubtful of it working because the game itself is not updateing it's file contents so it might not even be seeing then on our devices

@unknown The minimum android version required by MCPE is 4.2 4.0. Your device does not have a sufficiently current version of Android to run the game. In some contexts, it is possible to run MCPE on Android 4.0 (usually related to disabling xbox live features before they crash the game) but that is not supported in the official tracker.

Sigh, I was wrong again. The developers fixed things so 4.0.x should be supported. Sorry for the confusion. I've edited the message above.

I tried porting the options.Txt file onto my tablet but even with the necicery file it still won't boot up. As stated before it's not reading nor updating the games file at all even if deleted it does not renew the folders as it does in 0.15.7

I don't mean to be annoying but is there any news on a fix or even if they have any idea what the cause is I'm considering opting out of the beta until it's fixed if it's going to take a while

@j parker We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues, but please try and keep the comment section focused on the report, even if it is semi-related, commenting about how you're going to opt out of the beta isn't relevant nor informative for the report.

We do not post fixes here, you will have to be patient and wait for either an official changelog or for us to resolve an issue as Fixed or otherwise.

Unfortunately, I have the same issue. I am using a Galaxy Tab 7 - Andriod 4.2.2

Works well with update 0.15.7. However when I downloaded the beta version 0.15.90.2, it does not open. Upon tapping the Minecraft icon, the screen turns black for a few seconds, then goes back to the desktop screen. In the Application Manager, Minecraft is showing. In My Files, there are no folders or files associated with Mojang/Minecraft.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, left the beta and reinstalled older version - it worked, signed up for beta again and uninstalled the older version and updated to beta - doesn't work. Same issue - no files or folders found.

I had the same issue. Samsung note 3. Uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Finally searched for all folders associated with minecraft pe. Apparently some folders are not removed during the uninstall process, even if you clear cache and data. I then deleted all the folders with the word minecraft in them (i wish i was more systematic about which folders, but i wasn't ). I reinstalled and then it finally loaded properly.

I have searched for and deleted all folders/files with "minecraft". Reinstalled 0.15.9 still broken on Moto Xoom.

I got mine working I removed the resource_packs folder and it still crashed. There are other files like Sam Lewis said. I went back to 15.9 and back to the beta and removed the files or folders. Also if you were beta testing and went back to. 15.9 it will crash from the world's using /cheats and differnet entries etc. So I removed all the files and folders and did a clean install and it worked. You can save your world's to a new folder in your file manager & add them back. After you have the beta. Also servers are not updated to 16.0 that's why it's crashing 2 differnet clients.

Yes, we have the same or a similar problem. We are using iPad 2's with iOS 9.3.5. We have just updated to Minecraft PE 0.16 and we began getting the same kind of crashes as described above. We reset the graphics rendering to the lowest level possible, and while a new creative infinite world would load and start, as soon as you try to perform any substantive play, e.g. mining, placing torches, the game crashes to a blank screen. For more info, my email is [email protected]. (Side question. Is it possible to reinstall Minecraft PE 0.15.x to iPad 2's with iOS 9.3.5.?) No 3rd party mods, skins, or texture packs installed.

I've 16.2 now, on my Kindle Fire 7 hd, and so far it's no different than 16.0/1. (No texture packs or mods)
I've reinstalled the game and though i backed up my old worlds, I'm currently only playing in worlds I've created since 16.0 . It takes ages to play as it crashes repeatedly while loading a world. Since 16.1 I've been unable to ride horses, items spit out of my cue, sounds don't always work, water behaves a bit oddly, and i now have lag.

I'm immensely disappointed as I thought 16.1 was suppose to fix the issues. I really hope this gets fixed soon. I'm going to try one more time on reinstalling the game but I'm not holding my breath.
