I can confirm that this is also happening on my son's tablet. He has a BTC flame 7029C running Android 4.4.4. Kernel version is 3.4.0+ How soon do we think this Jira can be resolved and a patch / new software version issued? Or some kind of work around? Thanks.
I forgot to mention that he is using Minecraft PE 0.13.1 and cannot open any worlds locally.
