New information: The version that was released this morning in the Google Play Store, v0.14.0 (not the beta that's been previously tested and noted here on this thread) has been confirmed to fix it on my SGH-T999 running Android version 4.1.2 which I confirmed earlier in the thread was not working on v0.13.1 alpha on SGH-T999 Android version 4.1.2. In my experience troubleshooting IT issues, I find it helpful to know that something that was confirmed NOT working is later confirmed WORKING with all other variables remaining the same (hardware, user and OS), if you do not find this useful I will not take the time to provide you this feedback in the future.

As far as why I could not play the game, have this broken for someone who is used to it is like using a computer with the mouse turned upside down. Yes, I could do it, but it is extremely difficult. Have you attempted to use the invert-Y option set opposite of how you normally play the game? If so, how long were you able to enjoyably play the game without getting frustrated? Maybe you adjust to doing everything upside-down from what you're used to than I am, but based on the feedback I've seen given to Mojang regarding this bug I don't think I'm in the minority.

I just downloaded and tested v0.14.0 on my SGH-T999, Android version 4.1.2:

  • When Invert Y-Axis is turned off, it behaves as expected (not inverted)

  • When Invert Y-Axis is turned on, when first moving up or down it behaves briefly like Invert Y-Axis is turned off, then reverses direction and moves inverted – this is as described by the beta testers in previous comments. I noticed that as long as I hold my thumb on the screen moving up and down continues to move in the correct direction (inverted). If I pick up my thumb and put it back down the first time I move up or down it briefly moves the wrong way at first, then corrects itself.

While not completely fixed, it does behave well enough that I can play the game, which I haven't been able to for over 6 months.

Thank you!

Game is still unplayable: Bug confirmed in latest update, v0.13.1 alpha on SGH-T999 Android version 4.1.2 – I have not found a way to install a previous version of the game before the bug was introduced – is there a way to do this as a work-around until it is resolved? Several updates have been released since this bug was discovered but this problem has not been addressed.

I have looked into requesting a refund from Google, they state: "If Google Play's 2-hour return period has passed, the developer is responsible for deciding if you are eligible for a refund. Contact the app developer directly and ask for a refund. You can find an app developer's contact information listed on an app or game's detail page on Google Play."

Should we e-mail [email protected] to request a refund? That is the contact information listed in the Google Play store for Minecraft : Pocket Edition.
