Issue description

Hello, I want to report a bug that occurred on my cellphone, I use Godot Editor 4 which I downloaded from the Play Store, when I opened the application suddenly my screen went black, I have waited for several minutes the screen is still black, even though it has been 2 months then when i tried to download godot editor on my phone it worked really well. Is there any solution to this problem? Thank You!

Can you try the 4.2.0-dev5 build instead of the 4.1-stable?
Perhaps it was magically fixed in a later patch 🤞🏽

Also, just in case, is there any log related to the engine when you open the editor on your phone?
(you can check the logs vis Android Studio or command line on your computer adb logcat)

After a long period of development, the Godot 4.2 mono version finally supports exporting for mobile devices using .NET 8, and I wanted to give it a try. However, after upgrading the project from 4.1 to 4.2 and exporting it to my Android phone, I encountered several issues:

• The loading time is excessively long.
• Only the GUI is visible.
• The world turns back.
• The performance is severely laggy.

Despite attempting various solutions, only one proved to work:
Open Project Settings -> Rendering -> Renderer:

1. Change Rendering Method to gl_compatibility.
2. Change Rendering Method.mobile to gl_compatibility.
3. Reload the project and export it again.

The exported APK works, so maybe my phone only supports OpenGL ES 3.2.

what is your phone model and android version ?

$ phone_model=$(adb shell getprop ro.product.model)
android_version=$(adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release)
gles_support=$(adb shell dumpsys SurfaceFlinger | grep GLES)

echo "Phone Model: $phone_model"
echo "Android Version: $android_version"
echo "GLES: $gles_support"

Phone Model: SM-A045F
Android Version: 13
GLES: GLES: Imagination Technologies, PowerVR Rogue GE8320, OpenGL ES 3.2 build 1.13@5776728

I tried searching for Vulkan, but there is no hope. When I ran the command:

$ adb shell dumpsys | grep -i vulkan

I encountered the following errors:

It appears that the search did not yield the expected results. If you have any insights or suggestions, feel free to share them.

SM-A045F is a Samsung Galaxy? With Android 13, it should also have Vulkan API. There is an error when MSAA is active, the GUI is visible and the background is black in 3D mode.

It's definitely not the case, since I don't turn any of these options on.

It happens with a newly created project as well, here is a random project test_gui_input.zip that I created to try thing, you can give it a shot.
