Q: 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!

    Same issue. In middle of many games pop up will come up asking me to sign into Game Center. This only happens on my ipad since upgrading to ios7. I enter password and nothing happens. Have to hit cancel and then I go to settings and look in Game Center and I'm signed in.  ??????   Very annoying

    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 the same problem on my iPhone 4s. I just tried going to settings, then game center and logged in the apple ID in that window. It has been working so far.

     

    Before I changed this in the settings I typically just double click home and close the running programs then reopen them and it usually works.

    Since my post before on the 1st " going to settings, then game center and logged in the apple ID in that window" I have had no problems.

     

    Maybe try logging out of everyting related to your apple ID and resigning in. If that doesnt work you could try backing up your phone and do a factory reset on the phone.

    I have considered the wipe and reload TallFellow, but it seems a bit extreme for such a small thing. Mayhap I'll visit an Apple Store and see if they can help ...

    I am afraid I don't understand all that tech talk about firewalls. I don't believe I downloaded anything of the sort to my phone, but I don't understand how to check and those instructions are not very clear.

    HI Allen:

     

    Your two answers have NOTHING to do with this problem.  It is not a sign-in problem.  It is a problem with game center automatically signing everyone out every 15 minutes.

     

    Very annoying.

    Same problem here.  I can easily log back in but it will ask me to log in again within 15 minutes to an hour or two.

     

    It happens on my iOS 7.1 original iPad Mini (non-retina).  No wireless connection issues, no proxy, no port forwarding, no firewall on Comcast 20 down/5 up.
