Google will stop account sign-in for users running these old Android versions

Google is ending sign-in support for devices running on very old versions of Android. The tech giant is sending email to users saying sign-in will not be supported on Android version 2.3.7 and lower. In order to continue using Google apps on their phones, they must upgrade to Android version 3.0 or higher.

“Signing in to your account on Google apps will no longer be supported on phones with Android version 2.3.7 or lower starting Sep. 27” reads the email received by some Google users. This means that starting September 27, those running Android version 2.3.7 or lower will not be able to sign into their accounts. These include Android 1.0, 1.1 (unnamed), 1.5 Cupcake, 1.6 Donut, 2.0 Eclair, 2.2 Froyo, and 2.3 Gingerbread.
