1. Was playing a survival world when the app crashed and my phone restarted itself 2. Once the phone rebooted, I launched MCPE and saw that my survival world had: A) Switched to creative mode B) Lost its name, becoming blank 3. I launched the now-Creative world and found my world was apparently intact, I was in the same saved location, and I had all my inventory items 4. I exited out of the world and clicked edit, and changed the world back to Survival and gave it a name (however I noticed that Seed was "0", I don't remember what it was originally) 5. I saved the changes, and launched the world again 6. The world loaded fine in Survival mode, and I was in the same location I was previously in the game, except my inventory was completely empty. I still had all my equipped armor however. 7. The rest of the world appeared intact, and items I had put in chests were all still there. Only the inventory items were missing
This just happened to me in MCPE 0.12.1
