I may have found a potential workaround:
Edit alsoft.ini: (create it if it doesn't exist) ~/.alsoftrc for Linux/mac, %appdata%/alsoft.ini for windows.
Make sure there is the following lines

[general]
front-stablizer=true

this will make the game at least play from front center, but in my 7.1 setup I don't think it's playing from the LFE, but that doesn't bother me.

I have this same issue – settings are not saved after quit & reopen app (skins, other settings, etc. – always back to default steve skin and default settings).

Probably this is the same as https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-20648

I am running on a nexus 9 w/ android 7.1.1. I first noticed this issue with the 1.0.5 update.

I have this exact problem – exactly what is shown on the youtube video here. This is on a nexus 9 running android 7.1.1. All was good until the latest 1.0.5 update – my kids are devastated, btw. Please fix. This isn't a phantom bug.

Perhaps this is an issue because my kids are using minecraft out of a "restricted" android profile?

Maybe there are certain permissions that the app is assuming it has but which restricted profiles are not allowed to access?

Please help!
