Is Game Center as cool as I hope it is?

I have a few odd problems with my iphone that come up when running the diagnostics test (in the apple store) which have indicated perhaps an issue with software.
1) Battery life is not being displayed properly... its telling me that I have an accumulated 8-9 hours of usage which leaves the battery at 25%, which apparently is twice as much usage I should get out of a full batter.
2) I am having stalls and crashes in three apps, two of which are Safari and Maps.
So the first step (ovbiously) is to restore the iphone to its factory settings. As much as I would hate to lose all folders and app settings, its a necessary evil.
That's the long intro to my question: Does Game Center do anything for me as far as saving my acheivements, etc. for games? For example, if I wipe everything out, reinstall the games that use Game Center, will I just have to start over, or will it remind my phone how far I'd gotten.
Again, its really not the end of the world. It wouldn't be the worst thing to have to play Angry Birds all over again.
Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.
Cheers,
Brian

(That sounds like a typical JB problem even if you didnt do it but a restore will most likely solve those issues)
The gamecenter is that cool as long as you dont forget your sign in information you'll be fine. Also angry birds and almost every game will not delete any data as long as you back up your phone before you restore.
I'd like to add to anyone else whos reading to get apple to update gamecenter so you can send/recieve messages via GC..Lets get them working on that!!

  • Game Center "Games" and "Friends Tabs loads Forever

    Well i can enter Game Center but when i go to "Friends" tab or "Games" tab it just loads forever, if i try with challenges i see the "no challenge" legend some with the turns tab (no turns) since i dont own a turn game and have no challenge from other friends, but i cant see Friends and Games tab since they wont stop loading.
    a specific problem with it is that i tried to play Clash of Clans after having deleted it (but not from game center) and the game takes it as a new one as it says im not connected to Game Center.

    Well it didn't work, it still loads forever the "Games" and "Friends" tabs, but my brother came yesterday and try to help me, i tried logging out of game center but when i go to settings>game center and log out, when i go back to settings (top left button) then go back to Game Center it says im logged in (as if i had never logged out) so my brother tried to log on his Game Center account after i logged out but then just started to load forever his account and when i tried to open the game center program it would just white screen with the loading disk forever, after doing what you told me things went back as before (my account, i can open Game Center but Friends and Games tabs wont load and games will act as if i were not connected to Game Center).
    Thanks for everything tho guys i hope i can solve this issue its driving me mad!.

  • Can't restore iPhone 5 with iTunes error 3. and my iPad3 and iPhone 5s can't login to Game Center

    Hi. This is the first time since I knew apple devices..
    I own - iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1
              - iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPhone 5 "out of service"
              - iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
              - iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4
    Ever since I own my first iPhone 4 I never face unresolved problem like the 2 I'll mention.
    1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
    I did restore and update to iOS 7.0.4 but at the restore takes at the last 1% in the last moment of restore it will take loooong time then gave me error 3. And now for more than a month the iPhone stuck with recovery logo. Almost I tried every trick in the book . Change USB cable, port, PC. PC with other OS . Even freezing the iPhone as I read here noooooo result the same happened again and again.
    2- when I update my iPad3 to 7.0.1 everything went normal till one day ago suddenly I found my account logged out of the Game Center by its self and when I wanted to log again it will gave me error of can't connect to server or cocoa error??? Strange thing I can use other account to log in but mine No. Only my account is forbidden in my device while any other account I can login normally. Also my account and Game Center working without any problem in all other devices.
    I also tried every trick , change my ID then password then the whole ID domin nothing works. I restart normally then by pressing power/home. I logged off my self from all other devices and tried but also no hope.
    So - my account has no problem working with any other device
         - My iPad had no problem with other accounts in Game Center except me. While the same account had no problem with iCloud or email in the same iPad.
    I don't and I will not DO restore since it is bizarre problem and I already faced same problem in my iPhone 5s when I restore old backup to iOS 7.0.4 and was the only solution is to set up as NEW iPhone
    I saw similar problem but no difinite answer from Apple itself and this is strang but always I was loyal customer and already convinced about 8 of my friends to use iPhone during last 3 years and I expect apple to be loyal to me in the first time I am seeking there actuate direct advice.

    "1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.

    I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 5s!

  • 2 Game Center Accounts on 2 iPads - with the same Apple ID. How to do that?

    I really hope someone can help my daughter and I here...
    The story: My daughter and I had an iPad each - naturally, since she is a minor, both iPads had the same Apple ID & password. In Game Center, we had separate Accounts (so we wouldn't mess up each others zoos and such), but with the same Apple ID. No problems so far.
    Now, some lowlife burglar stole both our iPads... So I have bought new ones, one for me, and one for my daughter. She is thrilled to have her iPad back, and the games she have missed.
    But oh no... Whenever she opens a game, the iPad launches "my version" of the game, with my Game Center nickname. I try to log her in with her nickname on her new iPad, but it is impossible - using the same Apple ID and password, it only shows my Game Center account. If I try to manage my account, or create a new with the exact same nickname she used on her old iPad, Game Center refuses to log on, because the "name is already taken" - Well I know it is taken, it is my daughters, but how to get it? It is like I know both the Apple ID, the password and both GCA names - but I have nowhere to type in "Game Center Account name" followed by the password...
    I need help. I tell my daughter that there must be a solution, and her progress in her games are not lost; I can see them through MY Game Center account, so they are not deleted - but how to enter her part of the account is beyond my knowledge, so please, any ideas are welcome. You have the chance to make a little girl VERY happy :)

    On the ipad that you wish to change the ID:
    You can Erase all content and settings - that returns it to the "out of box" condition.
    OR
    Settings - iCloud - Delete account (It will ask if you want to keep contacts, calendars etc).
    Settings - Messages - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - Facetime - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - iTunes and App store, tap apple ID, sign out.

  • How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6?  When I GOTO the Game Center and click games, all I get is the screen with leaderboards, stats, etc

    How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6?  When I goto the Game Center and click on games, then click on a specific game (solitaire, for example), all I get is the leaderboards, achievements and player screen.  All I want to do is launch the game.

    Hi Jordanali!!!
    Game Center is just simply used for what you are seeing, leaderboards and stats between your friends and yourself.
    To launch an app, first download it from the app store, then just tap the icon on the home screen when it is done downloading!!!
    I hope that answers all of your questions!

  • How to delete a games record in game center without deleting the app?

    i want to delete one of my games record on game center without deleting the game app itself
    what should i do?

    Hi,
    Sounds like what you want to do is evict the item from the cache, rather than remove it.  Evicting the item is effectively saying the entry in the cache is out of date, and Coherence should retrieve it from the database should a new request for the key come in.
    You can set up eviction either through config, (to evict after a period of time or when the cache reaches a certain size), or pragmatically using an entry processor, (which calls remove(true) on the entry passed to it. The 'true' means evict rather than delete).
    Hope this helps,
    Andy

  • How can I disable Game Center from iPad

    2 problems:  I can't log into Game Center. It doesn't recognize my Apple ID or password (after resetting the password) . 
    I Want to stop Game Center from popping up every time I play a game.
    suggestions?

    Yes, you explained how to create a folder, but your explanation did not work for me. Perhaps 'Game Center' is not an application? Let me explain.
    I never use iPod, and now I have Game Center, which I don't use. After you posted your suggestion, I pressed 'Game Center', waited until all the applications wiggled, and then I dragged 'Game Center' to 'iPod'. No folder was created. What happened was that the iPod application decided to avoid the Game Center application and no matter how insistent I was, they did not merge or create a folder.
    I guess I just have to live with those applications -if they are called applications as I'm not sure of this since they don't behave as the majority of applications- Apple insists I exhibit in the iPad. I hope we will not gather one of the unwanted ones in every software update.
    Thanks again for your reply and your patience.

  • Multiple game center accounts for single appleid?

    I have 2 iPhones and an iPad for family members. I use my Apple ID to manage them. How do I assign a game center account to two other family members different than  the one I use to  manage the devices? I'd like to play games against them but we can't all use the same game center ID.

    We just had some Game Center issues.  Here is how you can create multiple users on the same apple ID.
    Go to Game Center. 
    If there is a username already visible, tap where the user name is and hit the "X" to the right of it.
    Touch "create new account". 
    Go through the prompts.
    If the account is for a minor, it will not ask for an email address.  A child will use their nickname along with their password to login.  BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE. Apple's Game Center support cannot view minor accounts for some reason! 
    If the account is for an adult, they will need their own email address.
    Finish going through prompts.  Now you each have your own login and password. 
    Now each user can go to the game they want to play.  They may be prompted to select which user is playing and login.
    I am not sure why some of you would have the name change on all devices.  It could be an automatic synching issue when connecting to iTunes or via iCloud.  Check your iTunes preferences.
    Hope this will help some of you.
    Also, although you each created your own username and password, even with different email addresses for login purposes, apps will still be purchased under the original iTunes account.  If a user wants to make a purchase on their own individual devices, they will be required to enter the password for the iTunes account, not the password for their Game Center account.

  • How do I delete Game Center from iPad?

    How do I remove an application from my iPad? Let me explain. I know you hold your finger (or stylus) on the application and after a while all applications wiggle and if you push a circle that appears with an X on the top left of the application, and the application vanishes. My problem is that this does not always happen. Sometimes the circle with the X does not appear.
    Let me explain further. I did the software upgrade today to version 4.2.1 and an icon appeared with all my other applications called "Game Center". I have explored the contents of that icon and I am not interested in it at all. I hate to have an icon cluttering my iPad, particularly if it is one I did not create by making a mistake. When I hold my finger to "Game Center", eventually applications wiggle and the circle with the X appears in all of them except in the one I want to remove, "Game Center".
    I will be very grateful if someone tells me how to remove "Game Center". Thanks in advance.

  • How can I stop Game Center from opening every time I finish a game?

    I despise Game Center and don't want to use it.  Every time I finish a game of Real Solitaire, Game Center opens and bothers me about not logging in.  This is on an iPad 4/128gb.  I never had this problem until I got the new iPad.  Is there any help, or am I simply going to have to tolerate this unwelcome, unwanted intrusion?

    You can also use the settings in Image Capture to set which devices open/not open specific Applications.
    Open Image Capture from the Application folder and connect the camera or iphone. Once it is detected, you will be presented with an application opening list at the bottom left corner where you can select what happens when that device is connected including iPhoto, iTunes or none. Each device can be configured differently.
    You may also have to go into the FinePix settings and see if there is a setting in that Application to turn off it automatically loading every time the camera is connected.
    Hope this helps

  • HT5622 Two Game Center Accounts on one Apple ID

    Hi,
    Unless you can find a way to delete the Game Center account you don't want, I can't think of any other way to solve your problem.

  • Why until now the game center my name/apple id is incorrect password?

    Why until now the game center my name/apple id is incorrect password?

    I had this same error on an old .mac address I've been using for years even though I no longer have email access on it.

  • Why cant I connect to game center server on Iphone 5

    hay all
    I am new here and new to Iphone as I have always had other brands. about 2 months ago I got Iphone5 and it has been awsome very user friendly I have some games running in gamecentre and since I plugged into computer 8 days ago to update and sync game centre always tells me could not connect I have tried other accounts but same outcome only on my iphone works fine on ipad. although the app still works fine and when i start playing the dropdown gamecenter notification says welcome back. so I just need to find out what I have done wrong to phone/gamecenter and what do I do to be able to sing in again
    Cheers craig

    Hi iPod 3g user,
    Sorry you are having trouble connecting to the Game Center.
    The troubleshooting steps below should help you get back on track:
    Using Game Center
    If you are having difficulty logging in to Game Center or staying connected
    Verify that you are connected to the Internet.
    If you are unable to create or sign in to your Game Center account from within a game, try creating or signing in to your account using the Game Center app.
    Try signing out of your Game Center account, and then sign back in.If you can't sign in to your Game Center account with an Apple ID, try resetting your password or using another email address. To manage your Apple ID account, go to My Apple ID(appleid.apple.com).
    When using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.
    When using a Cellular Data connection on iOS, incoming calls will interrupt your game session. If your Cellular Data network does not support simultaneous voice and data, answering the call may end the current game session.
    I hope this helps!
    - Judy
