Gmail not updating properly?

Hi all,

Had my Hero (T-mobile branded G2...) since release day, but in the last week or so I've had a few issues.

Firstly, Gmail isn't synchronising regularly. Sometimes mail comes through instantly, sometimes it doesn't update for a day or more (if I open the Gmail app and "Refresh" it pulls the new mails down). I can't think of anything I've installed that could cause this (all i've installed in the last week are a few soundboards...)

Secondly, if I go into Market and try to either install a new app, or update an existing one, it sticks on "Starting download..." until I connect to Wifi (then downloads the app immediately). Is there a problem with the Market at the moment, or is this more likely to be a network issue?

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I've restarted it within the last week (that was the first thing I tried after I noticed the market issue) but can't remember exactly when it was last rebooted. I'll try again now and see if it improves matters.

Doesn't look like a data issue... at work and at home I get at least 3G (usually HSDPA)... browsing the web and even data-heavy apps like Youtube and Last.fm work ok.
