Spinning donut of doom :-(

I only play on my ipad but am recently having the same problem with the spinning donut of doom. :?:

It's so frustrating. I guess I should be glad I can still access the game at all through another device but the iphone isn't strictly speaking mine, it belongs to my fiance and I can only use it sporadically. I could live with it if the servers were down or something, but this weird, device specific error drives me nuts. I even reset it to factory settings but it didn't make any difference at all. I downloaded another game that also needs a constant server connection and it works perfectly, as do other EA games. I just don't understand what the matter could be that can't be fixed by reinstalling the game etc.
