I have a survival world that my kids and I have been playing in on my Amazon Fire for a little over a year. My son and I have no troubles. But for the last month or so when my six year old daughter plays we experience several problems:
1) If she sleeps in her bed, she wakes up in her brother's bed.
2) If I exit minecraft, the next time we play together she will not show up where she left the game, but will show up at the the world origin point.
3) If I exit Minecraft, the next time we play she will lose any items she was carrying or wearing, like armor. This is pretty annoying because we're playing strictly in normal survival mode, and I've used up a lot of "hard earned" resources making her new armor and tools if she forgets to save everything in a chest before she exits.
I don't know if this falls into a bug category, or if we're doing something wrong. I've made sure she is keeping her name unchanged (and she doesn't want to change it). She is running the same version of minecraft as I am.
The only vague connection I can make is that I had to delete and recreate her Amazon profile at about the same time that this started happening. The Amazon profile is what keeps a record of what apps (like minecraft) she is allowed to use on her Amazon Fire tablet, and prevents her from making purchases without permission. She is using the same name she was using before her Amazon profile went belly up, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of underlying ID in Minecraft like the GUID in Windows that knows her current character is not the same as the old one, and is generating a conflict that prevents the game from recognizing her when she exits and enters.
does this happen to ALL multiplayer worlds she joins? If your not sure create another multiplayer world and let her join first than the other players. Make sure all of you are not running any addons for minecraft PE. And make sure all of the settings are the same for each device. Hope one of these helps. Please replay to me once you have tried these. Thank you.

Any ideas?
