Hypergeometric sum specific value
You may use the general formula from Brychkov, Prudnikov, Marichev, Integral and Series, Vol.3:
$$
_{2}F_{1}(1,1;\frac{1}{2};x)=(1-x)^{-1}\left(1+\frac{\sqrt{x}\arcsin{\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{1-x}}\right)
$$ …

Sum of series $a^{i^2}$
This sum equals exactly to:
$$ \frac{1}{2}\left(\theta_3 (0,a) -1 \right),$$
and $\theta_3$ is the Jacobi $\theta$ - function.
