I’ve been expirencing this since 1.6 released. It was fixed temporarily but it is back now. Can confirm that it affects 1.6.2

Comment by Aaron Lee Smock [ 30/Sep/18 ]

I'm having this problem still! Don't know exactly when it happens though.

Comment by HSG - Razzleberries [ 10/Sep/18 ]

Can confirm that I'm also having this issue in 1.6.0.14

I'm using Samsung J7 Max runing android 7.0

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 10/Mar/17 ]

I'm not experiencing this issue in 1.0.4.11.

Comment by PHO [ 06/Feb/17 ]

Reopened per MCPE-19928.

Comment by EnderDas [ 05/Feb/17 ]

Well the quick jolt does not happen anymore but i am still having problems that seem to be related to this. The d-pad or the area around them, such as right under d-pad down at random times will actually register me as clicking there as if the d-pad was not on the screen making me place random block or break

Comment by Anomonous Anomonous [ 04/Feb/17 ]

Happens to me too. But , it only happens when it's lagging.. so technically Invalid??? Maybe???

Comment by Vegito Rekt [ 30/Jan/17 ]

There is a bug similar to this in 1.0.2 that is basically this but only moves the screen a little and you have to turn the sensitivity above 55

Comment by [Mojang] Adrian Östergård [ 20/Jan/17 ]

Please reply if you're still able to reproduce this issue in 1.0.2.

Comment by Vegito Rekt [ 20/Jan/17 ]

This has been fixed in 1.0.2 according to the changelog

Comment by shadow master [ 19/Jan/17 ]

They must fix this bug

Comment by shadow master [ 19/Jan/17 ]

I agree with you about that... it ruins everything

Comment by XxSnowStormxX [ 19/Jan/17 ]

This bug happens with all devices that has Minecraft PE 1.0.0. I think that the MCPE developers made the game more sensitive with you touch or maybe it is only a glitch. That is only my theory. I call this as PvP ruiner. Many of the players have reported this bug. This will also happen with very fast devices.

Comment by Kuba Konstantynowicz [ 18/Jan/17 ]

Have the same issue - when trying to move forward using arrows on the D-Pad i end up rotated 90 or 180 degrees looking down.
Happens randomly, sometimes 3 times in 5 seconds, sometimes does not happen for 10 minutes.
Not related to lagging. Actually hard to tell if related to anything.
Galaxy Tab A 2016 - Android 6.0

Comment by Adam VanWert [ 16/Jan/17 ]

Vegito,

That doesn't provide a solution to the problem.

Comment by Vegito Rekt [ 16/Jan/17 ]

if no one figured it out yet the game basically thinks you're trying to move the camera instead of trying to move the character

Comment by Adam VanWert [ 16/Jan/17 ]

I've had a bit of success by doing the following:

  • Downloading Game Tuner from the Google Play. It's a Samsung app, free. Use this to reduce all graphics related things to the lowest setting except leave frame rate at 60
  • For some reason leaving Fancy Graphics on worked better than off, but exerting else is lowest, including no beautiful skies , lowest render distance, and I think that may be it.
    Otherwise I've downloaded some things to clean junk off the phone, but I'm not sure how much that helped.

With these actions above I still have the issue, but it's probably about a third as frequent now.

Comment by Elainedel [ 15/Jan/17 ]

It also happens to me randomly for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3V (SM-T116NU), but seems to happen more often when I tap the screen rapidly while attacking mobs while moving, or when trying to turn the camera sideways while moving.

Comment by Darren Woloshyn [ 13/Jan/17 ]

This Problem exists on my iPad Air 2 iOS 10.2 and my iPhone 6 iOS 10.1.

Comment by gatharian [ 07/Jan/17 ]

Affects 1.0.1

Comment by Travis [ 07/Jan/17 ]

I can confirm this issue is still persisting on my iPad Air 1st Generation MCPE v1.0.1

Comment by Adam VanWert [ 05/Jan/17 ]

Same thing happens on my Samsung Galaxy S6. MCPE v1.0.0

It will happen with or without lag. Lag is a major issue as well now almost all the time.

Comment by Shaolin Miner [ 03/Jan/17 ]

Happens alot for me on my windows 10 laptop also to my son and wife on their andriod tablets.
I don't believe it has anything to do with lag.
My view always snaps to excatly the same place 90 degrees left and stright down, happens in both creative and survival.

Comment by solehuddin power [ 30/Dec/16 ]

Reproduce:
1.Take your finger and hold at air blocks.Stay away from nearby blocks and look at sky
2.Take another finger and hold forward button.Remember,when you hold the button half on your finger that hold dpad and half on screen.Example,take your left finger and hold the dpad forward,make sure on finger touch dpad and the screen (outside the button).
3.you got it.

Comment by Thomas Kreeger [ 30/Dec/16 ]

I can see the circle outline that appears when a block is touched when this happens so I believe the on screen hit box for the movement arrows isn't intercepting some touches and letting the blocks beneath the movement arrows intercept the touch instead.

Comment by solehuddin power [ 30/Dec/16 ]

Weird bug,not happen on my tablet but my phone even no lagging.I realise the original dpad very small and dpad on screen is fake.I can issue this as only dpad graphic rescale but data input dpad unscale.

Comment by Jonny Tarr [ 29/Dec/16 ]

Here too. View randomly snaps to look straight down and seems to turn the player as well. Disorienting--when you look back up, it takes a moment to figure out where you were facing. If mining a block with a pick axe when it snaps, it will switch and mine/destroy the block you end up facing instead. IOS 10.2, 1.0.0 final.

Comment by kaleb418 [ 29/Dec/16 ]

I can confirm this for the final release of 1.0.0, on iOS 10.2. It happens randomly for me, lag doesn't seem to be a factor.

Comment by Myranda Miller [ 23/Dec/16 ]

Also experiencing this on a Motorola Moto E, Android 5.1

Comment by Mirosmar matos galvao [ 23/Dec/16 ]

Meu deus eles tem q arrumar isso eu n aguento

Comment by Vegito Rekt [ 21/Dec/16 ]

Its worse for me in the final release of 1.0 than it was in the beta

Comment by Jeff Jewett [ 20/Dec/16 ]

I have experienced this a little during lag. iPhone 4s on iOS 9

Comment by Travis [ 20/Dec/16 ]

Affects 1.0.0 on iPad Air on iOS 10.2

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 20/Dec/16 ]

Affects 1.0.0 final release.

(Tested on Samsung A6 T280 and LG G-Pad 8.3)

Comment by EnderDas [ 13/Dec/16 ]

Ive had this problem a lot lately i think it has to do with either DPad (size), Sensitivity, or the game picking up the users thumb and registering it (probably as a mistake from lag or something...) as movement from where the previous thumb was and jerking the camera around in a quick motion (last one was a bit specific...) Samsung S7(Regular) Android 6.0.1

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 12/Dec/16 ]

Seems slightly worse in 1.0.0.2 and 1.0.0.7 - The camera seems jerky when moving at all at times, as well as moving down.

Comment by Mr Smeo [ 06/Dec/16 ]

Also observed HTC One M8/Android 6.0 since 1.0.0.0

Comment by WingDing [ 06/Dec/16 ]

Same problem.

Comment by Jason Hunt [ 05/Dec/16 ]

Roughly the same issue. Doesn't happen with lag. Its mostly just out of the blue when it happens. Happened in my YouTube video the other day. Was walking forward or trying to and it spun me around. Note 4 on 6.0.1 mcpe v. 1.0.0.0

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 03/Dec/16 ]

I can confirm that this is an issue on my Samsung TabPro SM-T520 on Android 4.4.2.

I've noticed it since 1.0.0.0

Typically, it will happen when I am tapping the screen quickly, either to attack or to place blocks, and moving at the same time. (Perhaps it registers the left hand touch input as a camera direction change rather than a movement change)

Comment by Connor Payne [ 03/Dec/16 ]

I have a similar issue on my DROID Turbo 2 with 6.0.1 on 1.0.0.0. My Nexus 7 2013 had this issue in 0.14. It doesn't happen only when it lags on my DROID Turbo 2
