I was building stuff in creative mode when I tried to put a sign down, it took me to the sign text entering screen but when I entered text it didn't appear on the sign.

Re-opened since issue is still occuring. May be specific to Kindle Fire devices.

I'm having the same problem on my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000L. And I'm using MCPE 0.11.0 Build 8. Please fix it! This bug is horrible on servers!

Mojang, I think this bug can be fixed by increasing the distance between the sign and the text, or using another rendering engine like Unity.

Alexandre, does this occur in single player as well?
Sign text disappearing on servers is an issue with the server software. This is for the bug affecting MC:PE.
Yes, this bug is also occurring in single player.

This happens to me in single player and multiplayer. If I am playing in a wifi game the others can read them but I can't.

On my device this bug occurs, but in other devices this bug does not occur. I took screenshots of the game in local multiplayer.

This has been confirmed to affect the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 as well as the Amazon Kindle Fire.
I have updated my Minecraft PE to 0.11.0 Build 13, and this bug still occurs. My device is running Android 2.3.3.
Note: I searched YouTube Galaxy Tab 2 running Minecraft PE, and texts work perfectly.
And please, try my suggestion: https://bugs.mojang.com/brows…

The same happens with glass. Glass becomes invisible if you move far away.

Yes that's because a tablet doesn't have the same processing capacity as a computer so it can't load in as much at once

This is not because of render distance?

You're welcome. I want to give you an information that might be useful: In version 0.9 of Minecraft PE, signs worked perfectly. It was from the version 0.10 that this bug began. So what you have changed in this release that may have caused the bug? Is it possible to reverse it?

I'm in 0.13.0 I use the Amazon Kindle Fire HD. This bug still exists, I can only see signs i there 2 blocks high and I'm close to the text, if not, I can't see it. This happens in servers, single player, creative/survival, and multiplayer creative/survival. This bug/glitch has existed since 0.11.0. Even if I turn off all the graphic settings change render distance to low I still can't see the words on the sign. Deleting and redownloading does not work. This is especially annoying when on maps and I can't read the signs or when I want to use a sign in survival or creative.

The bug still happens in version 0.13.0. But recently I did the upgrade from Android 2.3.3 to Android 4.1.2 and the bug no longer occurs.
The bug was going the same way that 'LJsaysHeyDerrX' said.

I can not help you anymore. I updated my Tablet from Android 2.3.3 to 4.1. The bug was happening in the old version of Android, but after I updated, the bug does not happen anymore.

Here are some pictures of signs that have words on them but show up blank. As you can see I took these photos with my phone. Sorry. I hope this does the trick. http://imgur.com/a/pWf3T

Thanks, I've added your photos. Seems to be a Kindle specific issue. Are there every any conditions in the world where the signs show text properly? Knowing conditions that work/don't work can really help debug the problem.

As of now I currently use the most updated version of MCPE. No I don't any way to fix this but if you walk up to the sign on an angle you can see the letters. My cousin has the same kindle as me and everything and he does not have this problem unlike me.

@unknown please try writing in non-standard Unicode characters and see what happens. Just a guess to see if we can figure this out. See MCPE-16998.

@unknown regrets, but — I am running the must updated version of MCPE is ambiguous. Are you running 0.15.7 or are you beta testing and running 0.15.90.2?

I can confirm on my Kindle Fire HD.
I doubt it is fixed yet, but I haven't played it on my Kindle in forever. Also I screwed up and deleted the actual keyboard on my device

I am using an old kindle fire. It is on version 1.0.2 and still has this problem. It only shows the text when you're standing as close as possible and even then sometimes only at certain angles. It does the same thing with Ladders and Redstone.

@unknown, the "7" in the name is simply an indicator of the screen size and these have been around since 2012. We'll need to know exactly which Kindle you're using. You can find information about the different models on Wikipedia or through a Google search. Please get back to us with which Kindle (release date/model/generation/etc) you're using.

I am having this issue on my Galaxy Tab E32GB running Android 7.1.1
It is inconsistent. Sometimes I will type words and they will show up, but sometimes not. One example: I put up a sign with Helm's Deep on it on my server and no words would show up. I had to ask my friend to make the sign for me. It worked for her. I later put up a sign saying Exit, and there was no issue. It seems that it will not let me put up signs with certain words, but other signs are fine? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, either. Location doesn't matter, spacing doesn't matter. I tried to put "Ali" on a sign and it came up blank several times, then replaced the word "Ali" with ###
It makes absolutely no sense to me. I cleared my cache to see if that would do anything. No change. I am just super perplexed and pretty frustrated. 😞
Any help would be very much appreciated
