Bug presented on Google Pixel 6 running Android 13. There is a related bug where the entire screen is pushed to the right, making on-screen controls unworkable. See MCPE-161871
I cannot find a full-screen setting in Android 13 to work-around the issue.
I have recently run into this problem on my local LAN crossplay with my kids between my PC, a Nintendo Switch, and Android tablet. Details below:
My kids and I play Minecraft together over LAN; I on my PC, my son on Nintendo Switch (with an NSOnline account), and my daughter on Android. We have been playing for weeks with no issues and our game world is hosted on my PC. Our last successful session was Monday, January 16 2023.
We attempted to play again on Saturday, Jan 21 and the Nintendo Switch refused to connect to the world hosted via the PC (all Bedrock edition). The Android client connected with no issues. There have been no configuration changes to the network or devices in the intermittent period other than standard Windows 10 updates delivered via Windows Update. The Switch detects the world online on my account, and my son tries to join (either via friends menu OR by invite; we have tried both; sometimes the invite does not display on the Switch). After a few minutes of displaying "Connecting to multiplayer game", the Nintendo Switch client reports "Connection Timed Out. Unable to connect to world." We have tried connecting over and over and it refuses to connect. The android device connects successfully every time.
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps to resolve.
1. Restarted the PC and the Nintendo Switch.
2. Restarted the router and modem in the home.
3. Signed out and back in to the Microsoft accounts on each device
4. Per a web forum, tried cancelling the connection request on the Switch immediately and reactivating it. No change.
5. Tried sending a join invitation from the PC. The join does not work either, and sometimes the invite never even appears on the Switch.
6. Checked Windows firewall/defender settings. Minecraft is set to pass through (note; no other antivirus installed).
7. Tried creating a new world on the PC; again, the Android device can connect and the Switch cannot.
8. Tried hosting both the original world and a new world from my laptop; no change.
9. Tried connecting the laptop and the Switch both to a wifi hotspot on my phone to completely eliminate the network gear and the Switch will still not connect to the PC-hosted world.
10. Cleared Switch cache.
We also tested other options:
-A world hosted from the Switch is joinable both from PC and Android
-A world hosted from the Android tablet is joinable both from the PC and Switch.
At this point, something is impeding the Switch specifically from a connection with the PC, and I have tried every possible solution I can think of to pass through. And again, this problem is new and developed only in the last week; we have successfully played together on a world hosted from the PC many times before
