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 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.

I too have this issue in a iPad 2 from 2011, not sure which generation that is. It is very irritating. It is wifi only and I do have a 4s, but I don't play games on it so that shouldn't be an issue. It very frustrating to get kicked out so often. I have done everything suggested and have done all the iOS updates. They just new to fix this thing already!

Forgot to mention, but in addition to being constantly logged out of game center I'm also having trouble with find my phone. Everytime I look at settings the feature is turned off. I turn back on check again and it's off. So if I lose my phone or it's stolen I have no protection. Anyone else having both of these problems? I think they are related.

I have the same exact problem. I open game center, sign in if asked, launch my game, play it and after a random period of time the game crashes, I reopen it and then get a gamecenter login prompt inside the game, I enter the password and it can't connect. I close the game and go back to step 1.... it's been happening for a few months.


Also If i charge my ipad with wifi on, sometimes icloud will try to do an auto-backup, this never ever works because it always needs me to enter my password first. But if I manually tell the ipad to backup to icloud then i'm never prompted to enter the password.


I tried turning on 'find my ipad' as mentioned as a posssible solution to the gamecenter issue in another thread, this didn't help, and a few days later I noticed 'find my ipad' and icloud backup settings all turned off.


so does Apple read these posts? I have an ipad mini non-retina, wifi, very good wifi connection with no interruptions ever, and a reliable fast internet connection that has no problems.


The problem is at Apple's end... when will it be fixed?
