- HTC Desire A8181
Hi. I'm new to Android and still trying to figure it out. I have an HTC Desire A8181 which I suppose means it has Android 2.1.
I'm trying to get hold of the QR Droid app so that I can read QR codes. When I try to get it from the Amazon store I'm told that I first need an Amazon store app, and when I try to get that I'm told that the Amazon store app isn't compatible with versions of Android earlier than 2.3-something.
So I tried to get it through GooglePlay but GooglePlay says my browser isn't supported, then that I need a special GooglePlay app. When I try to sign in to my Google account to get onto GooglePlay I get halfway through filling in the form and it asks me for my Google email. My Google email is [email protected] but Google's form insists on filling it in as [email protected] and then can't find it, and if I just put whitehounduk it says that name is already taken - which of course it is, by me.
Can anyone help me to get QR Droid and/or to get my phone to connect to my Google account?
And/or, is it possible to get a more updated version of Android onto the A8181, and if so how do I go about it? I know that there are ways of updating which involve linking the phone to a PC but unfortunately my PC has a bug which means that it can't see anything with an SD card in it, including my phone. [This is a well-known Windows 7 bug which no-one seems to have a fix for.]
