Hi, I recently had an experience with an iPhone 4s which showed 12
gigabytes of other space. The phone only had 15 apps and they weren't
very big apps. The phone is a 16gb phone and as you can imagine, it
only has 13 gb of available storage to begin with. So, 12 gb of it was
used in the other space. There were maybe 10 photos and no videos. What
does this have to do with battery drainage you might ask? Absolutely
nothing, but please bare with me because the reason I'm writing this is
because of something you said in your message. So, I did what any good
tech does in a situation like this, I turned to the Intertubes and try
to find a solution to fixing the massive waste of the Other space on
this phone. I tried everything I could find. I looked at various Apple
support forums, various misc tech forums, and I even asked a friend of
mine who works at Apple. He said the steps i tried are the same that
Apple support would have me try if i called them. I must have spent at
least 5 or 6 hours of research and trial and error to get rid of this
mysterious other space. I am used to seeing 1 or 2 gb used, but 12 gb,
really? So I finally just did a complete wipe of the phone and reset it
from scratch. The sad thing is I would try to erase and reset and even
that would fail. So I had to put the phone in dfu mode to get it to
restore. When all was said and done, the problem went away. What caused
it? I'll probably never know. It seemed like something in the phone kept
writing data in some way, shape or form, and it kept filling up the
space. At first, the phone had 400 pictures on it. I removed them, and
made like 1 gb free and the next day, that freed up gigabyte was taken
up by other space. So, my story is to simply say that if you have tried
everything you can think of, resetting might be the only other option.

I am charging my phone between 2 and 3 times aday lately. I have turned off
background app refresh and am even running the phone on 0 brightness.
I am on the verge of doing a complete wipe and setting it up as a new phone
but really don't want to do that.
