The color scheme is different for older versions of Android; the codes
there are displayed in grey, and only the ICS version displays the codes in
blue. (See the app's play store entry for screenshots of both UIs---
here's a direct link to the relevant one:

Have you tried logging in with the code displayed? Are the codes updating
themselves--- are you seeing the little timer to the right of the code, and
is the wedge in the circle getting smaller?

Many thanks for your fast reply. It seems indeed that I was too fast in
panic. It means that I think this issue has been resolved now.

The strange thing is I got an error in an earlier stage that the code was
incorrect. Probably there was some lag in the connection. Can't find a
plausible explanation.

About the color; I didn't noticed that there was a different. I missed
the "lock sign" so I was concerned that this wasn't okay.
