 Description   

I'm unable to pause the game, and therefore exit the game, after creating or joining an old world. Haven't tested this in multiplayer, but it fails to work in single player.

Cleaning through old issues... going to resolve this report as invalid, since MCPE no longer uses the action menu button as of 1.0.3.

Pausing still does not work on version 15.4. Pressing pause button takes you to the game menu but the game still continues. You have to quit to title to stop the game. IPad 3 iOS9

It does for me. Pressing escape shows the menu, but the game does not pause. Day changes and mob continue to go about their usual business. I did set it to an offline game. Windows 10 Edition 15.2

Cleaning up all old issues, please reply if still affects 0.15.x

Can anyone confirm if this affects 0.14.2?

Comment by kaleb418 [ 13/May/16 ]

Re-opening via MCPE-14137.

Cleaning up all the old issues - please reply if this affects 0.9.3.

Comment by mike [ 10/Apr/13 ]

Confirmed for 0.6.1.

Comment by Tails [ 10/Apr/13 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Actually,after watching the video, I can pause the game, but mobs still attack me.

Comment by mike [ 17/Mar/13 ]

I also find it impossible to pause the game. I almost died because I didn't know it didn't truly pause the game.

I had the issue on my Galaxy nexus. The menu button did not pause but the back button does. I reinstalled the game and now both work.

Comment by James Peters [ 31/Jan/13 ]

I have found that by using the back button it pauses the game, I dont know whether that has always been there, but I preferred the action menu as it fits in with android's design.
