Tablet-Android- RCV 10 Viking Pro
Recently I started up a single player survival world for the latest update, 1.6, where phantoms were added and today, after discovering a fortress, I found that blazes no longer dropped blaze rods. Just to make sure it wasn't just a glitch with the world, or anything else, I uninstalled the game completely, reinstalled, and then opened up a creative world where I then did the following test: 1 set up a repeating command block to summon blazes, 2 set up an additional command block with the kill @e[type=blaze] command so that once killed I'd be able to confirm whether or not they dropped anything. These images were my findings, with the 3rd of a slime to show that there's no command deleting blaze rods, or disabled mob drops.

That's the thing, I also spent 10 entire minutes killing blazes by hand with a looting 3 sword, the entire time not a single one dropped a blaze rod, which is why I did the whole creative world to test it further. Here's the screenshots
I couldn't reproduce the issue at all on Windows 10 - can you double check the mob loot gamerule setting?
If it's still an issue, perhaps a copy of the world save?

I always leave cheats and such off whenever I make a world, except occasionally changing the difficulty to peaceful if dealing with hazardous situations, but it's passively turned on still. I noticed magma slimes aren't dropping anything for me either, so my game could be the problem. I tried a copy and that too didn't solve it. Let me uninstall completely and then reinstall to see if that fixes anything.
We're tracking an issue with looting drops at MCPE-35307, but from the sound of it this could be something different.

I completely uninstalled the game and deleted all files before installing once more, and transferring my worlds back, and it seems to have fixed the problem. 5 minutes, no looting, I ended up with 4 blaze rods, so it's possible my game itself was corrupt somehow. I'm not sure if that means this could've been an isolated case, or if others have been affected too. Just in case it happens again I'll be sure to report it once more so that it can be further investigated.
