If you tried the general settings on the device, go to your auto-lock feature set it to "never"
Launch the game wait 20 minutes and it does not work.
go back to app screen, then double tap game delete it... go to app store reinstall.
Launch it, and wait...
If it then goes back to app screen after 2-3 hours launch it again... Do this for 3-4 days and pretty much tie your device up for no good reason.
Next Start a few threads on the subject...
Kill time by, looking up the address for EA Games, wonder how far it would be... How much gas it would take to drive there, and how much to douse the building in the middle of the night and if one or two road flares would be enough to "Burn this Mother Down Pookie"
I have an ipad 3 have tried all different ways to fix the bug but nothing works. Please can someone help me.
From what I understand you have to save your game to origin by trying to open it on a different device. Let it harp on the other device until it crashes. (Goes back to home screen) go on your ipad 3 and try to open your game and you will get a popup that your game was not saved on your other device. Close the app go back to the first device and try and open it you should get something that says your game has been saved tap okay and close out of the first device and also do the home button close. Now when you go on the ipad 3 you will not get the not saved message and it will begin to harp after 15-20 minutes the screen will go black and the game will open.
Find a friend with an iPhone or an iPad that will let you use it for this. If they dont have the game you will have to install it on their device first!
Roxy I'm helping you for no charge out of the goodness of my heart but if you keep trying to fix it yourself I can't fix it for you. Every time you try the app it stops me from fixing it

It's really great to see that there are good people in this world, who do nice things for others with no strings attached.
I haven't had the harpies yet, crossing my fingers I don't, but if I do I may be PMing you
Ya I was helping another member fix their game and they were trying to fix it themselves at the same time. I got in 3 times but it would go back to the harp freeze. So I message them telling them to not try it while I do it and after that I got in and no more harp freeze.
yeah thanks for the advice, however I personally tried on the new ipad, and iphone 5.... still scr3w3ed....
Also tried Iphones 3 and 4...
I am gonna go back to the arson idea..
Out of curiosity did you get the your springfield has been saved before you tried it again on a different device? Allot of people think this is important. Or perhaps you came down with terminal harpies in which case you have my deepest sympathy.

I got that when I deleted and reinstalled the app.
Got it when I tried to log in from another device.
The harpies came back both times so I sent out an SOS PM and I'm now patiently waiting for my town to be rescued.
Dang it, I thought I was immune!! I made it months into this game without any issues *shakes fist and curses EA*
When I tried to go back in on the device I was playing on, it said the game was in progress or something do I want to continue...
Got it on every device I tried to open it up on. I have a friend with the iphone 5 trying to get it, also got the error stating that it was not saved do I want to continue... Been going for over an hour... I have little hope it will work..

Try this. Go back to the very first device you played on and let it harp till it crashes. (goes back to the home screen) than open the game on a iPhone 5 or iPad 4. you will get the your springfield was not saved message just close the app and go back to the first device and open the app if you get success your game was saved close the app and stop it in the home menue as well. go back to the iPhone 5 and open the app now it wont give you the not saved message. Tap to continue and let it harp until the screen goes black and you should get back in.

Ugh.
I'm sorry, I hope it works out for you.
I've been reading that people thinks this happens when a building completes?
I can say without a shadow of doubt that building construction has nothing to do with it. I was just collecting cash from the buildings and from people finishing their tasks. I got the donut level up thing...I always select the 3rd one for some reason...clicked on it....glanced down and noticed that my XPs did not reset.
My stomach sank.
I knew exactly what that meant and I just sighed and knew there was nothing I could do about it other than send out the SOS PM.
I was not kicked out of the game, I just closed it because I already knew it was a goner.

Exactly it has nothing to do with buildings but people think it does but the reality is the buildings give a ton of XP and that levels you up and leveling up too many times is what harps you. Especially playing on an older device like iPhone 4 or older iPad. But even iPhone 5s are not imune you may be able to level up more times but IMO it is inevitable because these devices cant handle these over and over bonus games. I think EA thought most people would level up 1-2 times and never counted on people leveling up many more.
This is all speculation but it makes sense. The only time we get harped is right after a bonus game.
Hi Roxy,
At last I managed to break the harpy glitch. I tried 3 times and then eventually
I manage to log in several times and had no issues please try now. If you have any issues then please remove the app and re install it.
