All day since right after the Wiggum house built the game has frozen on startup with the repeating "harp" sound as others have called it

That sucks. I saw a couple people post about it on EA. They mentioned a fix, but mentioned the backgrounder thing. Not sure if that's a jailbreak thing or an app or what.

Well they've been a little more liberal with the update schedule so maybe they'll release a fix

I'm getting the freeze as well. What a waste they fix the game then kill it again.

Same here.. Game is toast and no fix or response from ea. in a possibly related note, I have found other crashes have been triggered by an excess of 200 friend invites that are waiting to be dispositioned (accepted, rejected, etc). This would explain why you can log in as a guest and the crash will occur again once you log in with your user name even after reinstalling the app.
Another crash seems to occur if you log out of origin at the startup screen, then log in again and try to view your open invites. The server loses connection, and your invites fail to load. My next step in solving this crash for everyone involved would be to figure out a way to reject open invites and lower it to a smaller nber (or elongating them completely) WITHOUT having to log into the app. Possibly by logging into the origin website?
If anyone has any ideas how to complete this next step, please let us know.

Not sure what else to say. I had it for 10 days. My game worked for 1. Harp came back. Some guy on the forum said he fixed it. I called him a liar but he insisted. I kept trying and it really did come back.
Now it is possible that EA actually saw my mass complaints and fixed my account. I am suspicious that it was the real solution.

Ditto. Just got locked out. Last thing i did was finish el chemistre and send 1 character to it.... The harp noise is probably why that asteroid hit the earth yesterday... Sorry ... "Meteroite".
In any case. Sill locked. Feel free to visit my town and loot.

I just have to tap on the "Finish" thingy to build the Ralph's house... I still think if I should do that or not, had the harp sound from Monday until Thursday, don't want to be there again, taking the fact that the next update will be probably only at the end of the month.
Also the XP remains frozen so there still is a Bug there.
