The entire Minecraft app permanently freezes and stops responding on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T837A) running Android 8.1.0, requiring a force-close. Once frozen, the game never recovers or unfreezes. This issue started recently and had not occurred previously on this device.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch Minecraft (v26.62 Hotfix) on Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 running Android 8.1.0.
Navigate past the main menu and attempt to load into a world.
The entire application locks up completely and stops responding to touch inputs.
Expected Results:
The game runs normally and loads into worlds without freezing.
Observed Results:
The entire app permanently freezes and must be force-closed from Android app switcher.
troubleshooting already attempted:
freed up device storage and cleared the app cache.
deleted options.txt and local configuration files.
tested launching offline (Airplane Mode) to rule out a struck Microsoft account sync.
uninstalled the app, manually removed leftover com.mojang folders, restarted the device, and preformed a clean reinstall from google play store.
Tested without restoring old world saves or add-ons: the freeze still happens.
