Game Center keeps signing me out

I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7. Every time I try to open a game on my phone, I get a pop up asking me to sign into game center. This started a couple days ago and it is really annoying. What makes it worse is that it doesn't even let me sign in all the time. Sometimes it allows me to sign in to game center and sometimes I get a message saying it cannot connect to server. Its really annoying and frustrating. I am not sure what to do to fix this.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

I also have been having this problem ever since upgrading to ios 7 on my ipad2. its super obnoxious, i play a ton of game center games and having to re enter my password 10 times a day is really tedious. The link the previous poster suggested may be helpful to those who are not actully connected to the internet, but all of the suggestions in that post have not resolved anything for me. Connectivity is not an issue. I confirm that I am signed into the Settings > Game Center, but for some reason after a random amount of time, it will sign me out. Then i start getting the pop ups. What would cause the ipad to sign out of game center randomly? No one else uses this ipad, i have all my settings saved. I dont have this problem on my iphone 5. What the heck? To make it worse sometimes i will be in a game center game (for example clash of clans, and yes i do have the "Welcome" game center badge) then i will switch to a different game suddenly, needs my password again, then back to clash and i need to enter it again. Any suggestions would be welcomed, thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. I have an iPad 2 with iOS7 and am having the same problem. It probably started 3-4 weeks ago. Here's my temporary solution which tends to work for about a week or two before kicking back in. Close all the running apps (double-click the home button and swipe up on all running apps) and then restart by holding down the hold button on the top (or side) and powering the unit off. When starting it up again, log in to Game Center and with any luck, it'll remember it for a while. This will have to do until Apple addresses this in an iOS update. Good luck!

I have actual indentical problem with Emily & Aaron. I.m using Ipad mini non retina wifi Only.

This prob so killing me in the last few month since ios 7 update.

I have done that wipe and turn off my device too. Its help for just a while, like 2 or 3 days, bfr its starting that Game center issue again.

Plssss plssss plssss..... FIX this soon!! I also have 2 sisters and friends that have same prob.

But they are kindda ignoring ppl, they choose to not using that game center anymore, coz they tired entering pass again n again. They not playing games as often as me. Maybe that also one reason why they doesn't care about it.

Since many games they play are using connecting to Facebook. Grrrh!!!

This is not helpful. This happens repeatedly. Leaving the Game Center game and going to the Game Center app to sign in does get me signed back in. However, within an hour or so, I'm signed out again.


Does anyone else having this problem use two apple devices concurrently (iPad and iPhone, eg)? I'm wondering if the background app refresh on my iPhone is causing Game Center to become confused as I'm signed in concurrently from two very different IP addresses (iPad via FiOS and iphone via Att Wireless).

i do use 2 devices - Ipad 2 and iphone 4 - i would normally swap from the phone to the ipad in the evening and back to the phone the next morning so might be related to me only having to be prompted each day?

i also get signed out of iCloud every time i charge the phone in case thats realted.
