Alpha Wolf

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.

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

This is still happening for like a year and half now. I use the kindle Fire and I still can't see shit. Please fix this on kindle fire and yes the bug is still happening for us Kindlefire users and gladly may take a screenshot if you please.

Added photo of nether portal - had lava flowing around both sides - Luckily spawned inside portal - cleared one side to get out an stop lava flow - I believe this was in version 1.8.1
Something to consider in fixes.

Yes it needs to check for lava flowing around the portal !
I have one instance where the portal appeared in a lava flow going past both sides of it !
If it were not for appearing inside the portal, I would have roasted !
The one instance I really liked was a portal was created with a cobble base on both sides and was set on top of the netherrack !
I have never had that happen since - I believe that was in version 1.8.1.

IMHO they need to quit assassinating peoples players/HC games, roll it back like it was, Spawning inside the portal !
Then they should play with their code on a closed private server (with massive testing) till they get it right ! -Then maybe put it in ! OR NOT !
As you can see by my 006 pic above (attached to NOTHING) it is no fun dropping 30+ blocks into an ocean of lava to die and lose all your inventory !
I resorted to potions to get back up there and build the office around it when I discovered I was only about 120+ blocks away from a nether castle !
I have a few portals filled with blocks of coal that I avoid using due to this issue ! So far I had only spawned in the blocks below the portals once. (guess that was fixed shortly thereafter)

Thanks for the "West" clue, but I think I will stick to just swimming an do away with any boats,
untill the sudden death syndrome is fixed !

same java exception in report MC-75144, (java.lang.RuntimeException: Already decorating )
But not exact same issue, I was only drawing a map.
5 Reports attached on my issue.
affects also 1.8.1

I saw other older crash reports listed but none appeared to be this type of crash,
and your splash keeps saying to submit it to you,
So Here it is !
Oops, it shows a duplicate now. Supposed duplicate is not same issue as this !
Other than the java exception ( java.lang.RuntimeException: Already decorating )

Yes , still present in 1.8.1
It is also a bit aggravating that the boat shoots off out across the water when you exit the boat several times while sailing,
just to get rid of this collected fall damage. Sometimes it shoots to shore where it crashes and is destroyed.
Swimming the ocean is much safer than trying to sail ! ! ! At least then when I drown it is because I took my thumb off the spacebar !

@ /u/Anomie X , sail longer distances more often, it's sporadic but IT Happens !

There is like a hundred horses just to the west of this location about 40 meters

If I can reproduce it I will let you know

OK, I just shut the game down completely and rebooted it.
Now the crazy thing let me equip the chest on the Mule and Donkey both.
Now I am going to go sit in my corner for a while.
Again, sorry for the hassle!

I have tried it both on and off the animals.

You used to be able to put a chest on a donkey or a mule (before 1.8) this is a new game since 1.8.
I finally found a donkey after many hours of searching, (they seem to be more rare to find now),
Tamed said donkey and was going to put a chest on it for a pack animal but there is no longer a slot for the chest.
I bred the donkey with a horse as they also had the capability of mounting a chest.
After taming the Mule I found it also is missing the chest slot.
You could see the slot for a chest even without having a chest selected.
Same as seeing the Saddle slot, they are gone now and only the Saddle slot is still there.
Once again, I apologize for my short fuse. I'm a 55 year old phart.
Please forgive me !

You could have told me that you reopened MC-881 as a result of closing my thread ! Thanks

Here it a file of what My portal I spawned in , it is inside a cobble house now, Spawned in midair with no netherack attached between 2 shear drops about 23 blocks above lava ocean.

After reading to the bottom of the comments, I see that what it mentions in MC-881 is duplicate to my issue

Ok this sounds like exactly what happened to me, sailing in 2 block deep water, 5 blocks offshore,
guess the bobbing ? was the points when it blinked showing water in the boat while crossing the ocean.
I slowed to look at something onshore , heard a sploosh and died instantly.
There were no squid or other mobs around, but I was drifting close to a 1 block deep area of water.
One month later and I still have not found the exact spot where I died, trying to find all my lost goodies and a written book.
After dying 2 more times during my searching for lost items, I have taken to just swimming across the ocean rather than trying to use a boat !
And YES this is still present in 1.8.1 !
