I have 5 gb of "other" clogging up my phone. I have tried restore form backup, clicking on the auto connect to itunes, and unsyncing contacts etc. None of this has worked. Any suggestions?

the only thing that will get rid of it is a restore as new.. its a corrupt file that is also in your backup
I had this problem when I first upgraded my jailbroken 4 from 4.3.3 to 5.0. I fixed it by unchecking everything that was syncing in iTunes (music, apps and Photos) and letting iTunes erase everything, rebooting the iPhone and then checking everything again to sync. No need for a restore as new for me.
The other posts are correct. I actually posted a question about this a few weeks ago and after at least 5-7 restores and going to a new (referb) device, the problem continued. You must back up your data and then when you do a restore do a restore from new. Then transfer your stuff back to your phone. My issue is gone now. If after you do the restore from new and it happens still, hold the icons down and close your apps then check your usage again it should be good to go. I discovered that mine was holding onto memory used for videos even after I deleted them. Now....all fixed.
Right but I'm guessing but it's a known fact the bigger the storage cap, the more there is unusable due to OS reasons lol
with any storage medium.. hard drives flash memory etc there is loss of storage.. I have no idea why that is but even if you by lets say a 16gb flash usb stick its not a full 16gb. It always has a loss.

Right, I knew that .. Between that and the OS I didn't know what the true numbers were lol
The difference comes down to bad naming. HD manufacturers used the names Kilobyte, megabyte, etc. The Kilo prefix stands for 1000 and Mega stands for 1 million. The manufacturers started measuring off that ( where a megabyte is 1,000,000 ) bytes, where in actuality a megabyte is 1,024,000 bytes. This is where the "loss" comes from.

Thank you! That's what I was referring to, but was too lazy to look it up!
