I have an older 'smart' phone (Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T679) that still works great (although about 12 years old) that I would like to use as a music/podcast player when I'm traveling. The problem I'm running into is that it's so old (Android version 2.3.6) is that I can't access Google Play for the couple apps I want. I factory reset it and when it asks to add a Google account I get an error- 'A problem occurred while communicating with Google servers'. No sim card is installed and it does connect to my home wi-fi and I can use the web browser. I can manually add music to the SD card and that works fine but I would like to have the Radio Garden app and 1 podcast player. This phone has not been rooted/jail broken. Any ideas? Thanks.
