IPhone memory used by "Other"

I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and now 7 Gb of my iPhone 3GS is used by "Other". What is "Other" and why is so much memory assigned to it?

Hi All,
I have been facing the same issue and found a solution that does not require a full restore!
Its seems to be related with the music synchronization mechanism
Here is a link to a very usefull documentation that describe what I did to resolve my issue!

Using PWsafe APP : not restoring from an older Backup might lead to loss of PW-Safe contents?
Who can help?
Thanks
P.M.

I hope Apple can fix the problem somehow ....... I just restored my Iphone again:
Pic no1 : Iphone restored with IOS before! contents are restored
Pic no2 : after all contents ( Apps & Music) have been restored
I have found another thread concerning "other" memory : but if I restore without media contents and apps my PW-Safe information might get lost ....and the problem will still return......
Any Ideas ? maybe iExplorer?

I have a huge amount of my memory used by 'other' than photos and music - to my knowledge, there is nothing there apart from a few songs and photos and 5 podcasts. What could it be? How could I get rid of this 'other' stuff and get the memory back?

See Here > maclife.com/how_remove_other_data_your_iphone
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

Iphone memory used up by "Events"

My iPhone 4S started behaving strangely after upgrading to iOS 7. The memory fills up within an hour, and after this I have to reset it to free up again. In Settings:General:Usage it says that the additional memory is used in "Calendars & Reminders". More specifically in "Events".
I logged the memory use from the phone being "empty" until the memory was used up after around 45 minutes.
This is what it looks like in the usage overview. Note how the Calendars & Reminders are suspiciously big.
Using IOS 7, on a 16 Gb iPhone 4 model MD235B/A. Model firmware is 5.0.00

I have the same problem with a filled memory using my WiFi iPad 2, iOS 7. Even after removing all accounts and everything I could imagine that uses the calender, 8 GB is used on "Events" before restart and 819 MB after.
The iPad is extremly non-responsive and the calendar is filled with "New Event" at 00.00 the day after tomorrow.
Have anybody found a solution to the problem?
Do any of you know how to remove this data?

T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 using in other countries

I recently bought a T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 in the States, however I am trying to use with South Korea USIM during my trip there. Is South Korean USIM (maybe SKT or Olleh) available for this phone?

" I am trying to use"
Are you telling us that your attempt to use the T-Mobile iPhone 6 in Korea was unsuccessful or, are you telling us that you plan to use the iPhone 6 in Korea, and you're asking us if it will work? If I were you - in Korea with a T-Mobile iPhone 6 - I'd by a cheap pre-paid SIM for a local Korean carrier, and see if it works. Regardless of the outcome, you'd have your answer.

I have over 3gb of memory used by "other" How do I find out what that is?

on my Ipad I have just ove 3GB of space which is taken up bu "other" I do not know what this is or how to reduce this usage. Please help

This indicates corrupt file(s). It is normally less than 1 GB.
A restore should resolve.

Do I have to activate the phone and have a plan with at&t to use the other.

features on the phone such as the internet and youtube. I will not be using the phone part of this and the only reason im getting this is because the new 8 gig iphone is cheaper than the i touch.

yes you need to activate the Iphone to use the other features also when you buy the Ipone AT&T or Apple will have you sign up for a 2 year aggreement. So It's not cheaper

My iPhone 4S shows I have over 6 GB of memory used for mail yet the mailboxes are more or less empty. Where is the memory going and how can I reduce it?

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).

Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.
