How to reduce other size in iPhone memory?

I recently plugged my iPhone 4 into my computer and it showed up that I have over 3GB of other data. I have only around 200 songs, 200 pictures, and 20 apps, all which are either games, came with the phone, or social media. I went to the store and they told me to restore my phone and use the iCloud backup to get my data back which should reduce the amount of Other my iPhone has. At first it stayed down to around .80 GB. About 3 days later, today, I plugged it in again, and the Other was 3.12 GB. How can I get it to go back down and stay back down? Are there common apps that make the Other shoot up? Thanks!

Do a full restore:
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    I am having 'other' storage problems on a lot of my devices and I have been searching for a way to solve this.

  • How to remove "other" files from iphone memory

    Concerning how the memory is used on the Iphones under the "other" category, I have found that the biggest culprit is text messages that include photos and videos sent and received. Think about it, when you take a picture and then send it, even though you delete it from your camera roll, it is still necessary to hold in memeory as being part of the text history. It is only removed from the phone when you delete it from the text message as well. This also applies to text messages received. This is a large hidden area to most people!
    good luck.

    Restore the iOS.  You may have to do this as a new phone (without using a backup).  Note that "other" contains messages and emails - if you have a lot of these, especially with photos/videos, that would account for the other usage.

  • Reducing app size and using memory

    Building with release preference Blank App template will give you a ~200kb .exe, which in running state use ~7mb of memory.
    It has a huge list of external dependencies.
    So, is it possible to reduce app size and using memory?
    Or, how safely unlink from app headers that really didnt used?

    generally speaking  premature optimization is not a good idea.
    Normally those tricks we learned from stone age are picked by tools already.

  • How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets?

    Hi!
    1. The "Control bar" is still something missing and to display the location of the same functions are different depending on the selected tool.
    Therefore, the tools will I need to keep an eye on pallets or icons. But description of the pallets is too great for me, takes place and I can not see as many pallets as I need.
    2. The idea to create multiple workspace and its continuous change is not good for me.
    When I work I prefer to have the tools at its one location, then I can rely on My reflexes when choosing a tool, and not constantly look where this time or constantly switch the workspace.

    Hi,
    What BDB release are you using? If it's one of the latest releases, then what you are looking for is the DB->compact() method:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_01/html/api_reference/C/dbcompact.html
    The DB->compact() method compacts Btree, Hash, and Recno access method databases, and optionally returns unused Btree, Hash or Recno database pages to the underlying filesystem. Please let me know if it helps.

    Thank you for the help,
    Best

    You have two options:http://www.screencast.com/t/p3srGDGP
    In this screen shot I have two method chosen.
    the one highlighted in yellow is more effective, except in the case where the pdf was from a Scan which is graphics only.
    select the one in yellow first and click on Fonts. Remove all duplicates. for some reason, I don't know if its defect in Acrobat, but usually multiple copies of the exact Font will show up and some cases there will font families not even used in your document.  remove all duplicates.
    Note: Duplicates do not mean for example: Helvetica, Helevetica Bold, Helvetica Bold Italic (these are three different fonts).
    You can reduce the quality of the graphics used and so on while in menu.
    The feature highlighted in green  more or less just reduce the general qaulity of the PDF. and may work for some PDF's

Maybe you are looking for
