Is there any way to avoid rebuilding my iPhone 4 every 6 weeks when "OTHER" fills up my memory?

I am sick of rebuilding my iphone 4 every 6 weeks: setting up as a new phone, installing the apps again, reconfiguring them, rearranging them how I like them.
It's a pain in the behind and a very good advertisement for Android at the moment.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
It's to the point now that I call each build as "My iPhone (build YYYYMMDD)". So today's fresh install underway is Build 20120324. The last one was 20120214.
The best Apple "support" could offer was to rebuild as a new iPhone each time.
So, with "Other" growing in 6 weeks from <1GB to 5.3 today (when it filled my phone's memory), is there any way to stop this?
My crappy, free, cheap Android tablet never has this problem!
GEF.

If you're restoring your phone so often, I'm minded to think it's something to do with one or more of the Apps and not the phone/iOS itself, (it's unlikely you'd get the same bug everytime).
Use your phone for a few days and make a note of long it takes for 'other' to build. Then restore as new but this time only sync the apps you really need. Again, make a note of long it takes for 'other' to build.
Maybe a process of elimination will tell?

HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device. I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages. Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup. If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

virus protection in vmware or on my running OS X 10.8.2??plz help me out
First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

HT1766 When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this ? Thanks

When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this. I want to backup my iphone but don't want to be recharging all day. Many thanks

Are you sure the iCloud backup is causing this? Unless you initiate an iCloud backup manually, it will only back up once per day when the phone is connected to your charger and wi-fi and has the screen locked. It shouldn't otherwise be consuming any power.

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud.
Basically i have a 16gb ipad2 (big mistake) so space on the ipad is precious. obviously i occasionally need to remove games/apps to make way for other apps from my cloud. The problem is, when I remove an app to make way for the new app I lose all my progress in that game apart from the option to save leader-board stats (which is the least important thing to me). Its very annoying to get so far in a game only to have to remove it to make way for a movie and lose all my progress!!!!!
Any way round this?

I do not know how to save game data when deleting an app, but as for updating, if you connect the ipad to a computer and do the update through itunes, you will not have to download the update package to the ipad just to the computer. so you don't have to free up quite so much space, as for movie and photo storage you can look at the sandisk wireless and airstash wireless SD card adapters, they create their own wireless network and come with apps that allow you to store and then stream movies to the ipad instead of loading them to the ipad storage.

The following says how to restore from backup.

If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

Is there any way I can connect my iPhone to my projector to demonstrate an app?

Is there any way I can connect my iPhone to my projector to demonstrate an app?

Yes, there are cables in the Apple Store that will send video to an external screen, but it depends on the app....3rd party apps may need to be written to allow video out...some mirror the iPhone screen and some only use the external - it depends on how the app works, etc.
Start by getting a compatible cable.

Don't know what you mean by "some time ago", but unless you activated Find My Phone and the phone is still on, the answer is no. (Even if you ask 3 times).

HT1414 is there any way to track down my iphone when i have lost it?

I lost my iphone and i have the "find my iphone" app and thought that it may work from my mac but I am not finding a way to do that, is there any way to track down my iphone from my mac?

On your Mac, login to iCloud.com, & try to locate your phone. This requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before you lost it. It also requires your phone be turned on & connected to the Internet. There is no other way to locate a lost iPhone, other than physically looking for it.

I bought an iphone 5 in December. However my iPhone does not support 1700 HSPA . The current iphone 5 does. Is there any way I can trade my iPhone to get the current iPhone since they are both iphone 5?

No, you have to sell yours and buy the new iPhone 5 with the proceeds.
Please do not double post. Asking many times does not change the answer.
