wtf? Etrade mobile pro not available for my device? No 4.5 support?

anyone have the direct link to .jad?

www.etrade.com/mobilebeta from your BB's browser

Download of loader went fine, but when I run the app (which does the full install), it gets to 100% and then says "There was an error during the download. Please restart the application and try again."

Restarting doesn't do anything.

Doesnt work for me either. I have an 8310 w/4.5 on it. they must not support 4.5. Has anyone found a direct link to the .jad?

Got it to work (required a battery pull).

What you download is only a loader. When you run that, it downloads the rest of the application. E-Trade does not appear to be providing it in OTA .JAD format, at least not now.

It's nice. I haven't put it through its paces, but it looks pretty, is easy to use, and does most of the things that I've been wanting to do mobile (but haven't been able to do or do easily via their WAP site).

At times, it's impossibly slow. This doesn't appear to be the app, but communication with the server. For example, I'll ask for my portfolio and 5 minutes later, it's still not up. At other times, it's lightening quick.

Are there things missing? Sure. For me, I'd like more (different?) information in the performance view.

I manage multiple accounts (personal and investment club) and it'd be nice to be able to save login (even without password) information that I can simply pick between.

No love for OS 4.5, and solution?

I got the same error message on my 8310 but I do not suscribe to BIS but instead have a Gmail Mobile account. Could that be the problem?

tharedbee · 06-13-2008, 02:17 PM

I have an 8310 with 4.5.0.18 and cannot do the OTA install either. Says:

"we're sorry - Etrade Mobile Pro is not currently supported by your device - Try Etrade Mobile"

downloaded on my 8330 (4.3), and it installed as expected. After a prompted reboot, the application configured and connected easily. I logged into my eTrade account without any problems. Nice application, and it has been a long time coming.

More reporting on my experience...

I've twice had it lock up, requiring at Shit-Alt-Del. When my BB comes back to life, I get a a message how this application stopped responding and how it was closed.

It's just a beta...

I put the beta on my 8330 and it is prett smooth. Did a few buys and sells today without issue. Looks really nice too. I like that you can check stuff without logging in as well.
You can leave it running in the background which someone said you can't. I have my left hardware button set to applicatiuon switcher. Just use that and select another app or the home screen and leave it running. Its running as I type this right now without issues.... Will kill the battery quick but it works. Enjoy!

hey i have a problem with my etrade mobile. i downloaded it from the browser link and installed the program but when i open it and press ok to finish downloading whatever else it needs to it says that "There was an error during the download. Please restart the application and try again." I restarted the application and nothing happened. i tried lots of other stuff and nothing is working. does anyone know what to do to fix this?

I'm sure you already tried this, but do a battery pull and try again. I had similar problems with the beta and this fixed it.

haha yeah i tried it a bunch of times last night and today and it didnt work. i tried everything i could think of to make it work and its still just wasting space on my bb. i pulled the battery, the sim card, messed with the app permissions, network settings, restarted the app and the bb, redownloaded it, took out the battery and waited like an hour and nothing is working. i really really need to get this thing to work because i got a new job and i cant ever get on etrade while the market is open and im losing money.

I AM CHRIS! · 07-09-2008, 08:08 PM

yeah i just got off the phone with etrade and i have to call tech support tomorrow. but what exactly is involved in this battery pull? like when should i do it? because if its just pulling out the battery and restarting my bb then thats what i did and it doesnt freakin work! haha jeez

Yup, that's it. If removing the battery, waiting a few (30) seconds, putting the battery back, and letting the thing reboot doesn't fix... then, sorry. Other than removing the software, doing a battery pull, and then redownloading, I'm out of ideas.

I AM CHRIS! · 07-10-2008, 04:51 PM

yeah none of that worked, thanks anyway. ill just find someother way to fix it i guess, im going to call etrade tech support in a little while, i hope they speak english. or maybe ill just use opera mini and go to the pain in the ass etrade website from there.
