3GB of "other" so I can't download iOS7

Hi,
I have an 8GB iPhone 4.
After taking off all my photos, deleting a good majority of my apps, and deleting all my texts, calls, voicemails, emails, Safari cache/cookies/history etc. I still have about 3GB of "other" on my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it says I have 0.8 GB of apps and 3GB of other and that's it.
I want to download iOS7 but my phone says I need 3.7GB to do that and I have 2.5GB available.
I was told by someone to go into settings>general>reset> erase all content and settings.
If I do this will I be able to download iOS7? And will I be able to restore my apps/contacts?
Please help.
Thank you so much.
P.S. I have also tried downloading iOS7 through iTunes and it didn't work there either.

OTHER DATA
Other data on your device should only be about 1.5GB and larger than this may indicate corrupt data.

To get rid of it you need to restore not from a backup.

    If you have a compatible IOS device with IOS 5 or higher, connect your device to your computer and update through iTunes, or use the "Settings" app to upgrade wirelessly.

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    The lapdocks were running a 'normal' ARM Linux install and just used the desktop Linux Firefox. The ARM Linux version of Desktop Firefox won't run on Android's Dalvik VM (Java). We did not do the customization for that Motorola did and last I heard they had stopped supporting lapdocks.

    Can we download IOS7 on Iphone 4

    I downloaded and installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s. I am not a developer and thus dont have an developer id. I was told by a friend that the ios7 beta was available to all and thus I downloaded it. Now my phone is stuck on a screen which reads that my phone cant be activated as it is not registered. When I plug in my phone to my laptop, itunes reads the same message. How do I activate my phone or restore it to the previous ios? Im stuck.

  • Can't download ios7 apps?

    why can't ipod touch 4g use ios7 apps or be able to download ios7?
    i cant even get facebook, becuase it requires ios7. help

    Use this method:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • I don't have the option for updating software in my IPAD!!! How can I download IOS7?

    When I go to General, in settings, and then go to software update, I don't see the option of update software, it only says "learn more ' about ios7?????

    Well, finally I fixed my problem and was able to download IOS7 on my IPAD.the problem was because there was not enough space on my IPad local storage, so I had to free some space by deleting pics and movies. Now it's working fine, but I learnt that I can have an Iflash drive or a wifi external hard disc to put all my files on and relive my local storage.

  • How can I download ios7 in my ipad

    If you are a developer, go to http://developer.apple.com, log in to the iOS Developer Program and download iOS 7 for your device. Note that any problem you have with iOS 7 won't be fixed by Apple.
    If you are not a developer, iOS 7 will be launched in fall, so you have to wait. See > http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7

  • Can i download ios7 onto my pc?

    I would like to download ios7 onto my iphone 5 via my pc? is this possible as I have no wifi in my area
    kind regards
    Derek Haynes

    I am assuming that your PC has internet access.  Otherwise this will not work.
    Start iTunes
    Connect phone to PC using charge/sync cable
    iTunes should recognize your phone and check to see what version of iOS it is running
    iTunes should recommend updating your phone to the current version of iOS
    I always click download only and wait for the file to download
    Once that is done do a full backup of your phone
    Then eject your phone and disconnect it from the charge/sync cable
    Reconnect phone to charge/sync cable and wait for iTunes to recognize your phone
    When iTunes suggest updating your phone to iOS 7.1.2 click OK and then wait for it to finish updating.
