 Description   

Starting in June my boys started playing multiplayer minecraft on their tablets (one is a kindle fire hd7, and the other is a samsung galaxy 3 tablet). About a week ago, they can no longer connect together, with the exception of a few times. Usually it involved waiting for a few minutes until the game would show up on the other device. But it doesn't seem to work any longer.

I tried connecting minecraft pocket edition with my kindle fire hd7 to my sons kindle fire hd 7 and they connected fairly quickly. I just can't figure out how to get the samsung galaxy tab 3 to connect now.

The local server multiplayer is already on. Also, I reset our wireless router. Doing that helps with the kindles connecting, but has done nothing yet for the samsung galaxy 3 tablet.

Thanks for your help,

Cleaning up all the old issues - please reply if this affects 0.12

It was not a bug. It was an internet/ip conflict issue. Usually just turning off the wireless on one or both devices, then reconnecting would fix it. Sometimes I would have to reset the wireless router. It would work after that.

Does this bug still appear in 0.12.1? If so please respond.

IP Address mustn't be conflicted in each tablet, If Samsung and Kindle tablet are the same IP Address (ex. Kindle: 192.168.1.102, Samsung Tab: 192.168.1.102), They will no longer connect. IP Address on Samsung must be edited from 192.168.1.102 to any IP Address you want it but it doesn't conflict.

The issue for us seems to be resolved. I found that if I turned off the wifi on the samsung tablet 3. Then wait about 30 seconds and turn the wifi back on, on the Samsung Galaxy 3 Tablet, the tablets could then connect again. There may have been an ip conflict.
