Apple's September 12 invite hints at iPhone 5. Upgrade to iOS 6 now.

[thekillerj23]

After searching for MONTHS, I finally found a solution to deleting all the 'other' data that for some reasons fills up my iPhone

I found this elewhere, but it worked for me.





On your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Usage. Swipe the Music line to the left and press delete. IMMEDIATELY shut the phone off-don't exit or anything like that. When you turn on your phone and connect it to iTunes, you may find a huge chunk of your "other" space gone.





When I first did it, it scared the living daylights out of me, but it worked. My other space was quite a bit smaller, but I now have 0.1 GB of other space.

WORKED FOR ME!

​

This did not work for me!!!! i have 6.9 GB of other data

Did you turn off your phone immediately after swiping/deleting the music usage? I didnt even press the home button afterward. I just straight powered down, waited about a min and turned it on and plugged it directed into my iTunes

Thanks, it worked this time, what a random thing to do, apple needs to fix this issue

Edit: It worked but then when I went to play a song, it would just skip bunch of songs and not play anything. So I tried to resync all the music and it brought back 7.1 GB of other data.

didn't work for me either. it just deleted all my music. i'm on iOS 6.1. :\

i did a restore and went from ~2GB to ~0.6GB of Other Data, though.

Just got the new 5 today....Anybody rocking the lifeproof case??? feedback??

yea... one make sure you do the water immersion and dirt test first before using it with the phone.... also the screw cap that seales the headjack on the bottom make sure its completly sealed... also a tid bit of advice it will make the phone signal weaker and calls arent as clear, but to solve that just use the sealed headphone jack extension.... the long cable oddly enough acts as like a antannae and it helps with call clarity. also the touchscreen doesnt work underwater, so if you wanna take pics etc.... set it up before underwater and use the volume buttons for controls... also warm water and like a shimmy is best to use to clean/dry the case. ... oh yeah make sure the tab for the charger connect is snapped and fully sealed

That's too extra for a phone case imo

Thank you based god 1 million reps for you I've been looking for months and it kept getting worse, I went from 4.6 gb of other to 220 mb of other

lol yeah kinda seems that way but after seeing/checking out all the other slim/thin cases... being able to use while swimming/dirt/snow/anti shock... had to go with it. i have an otterbox (black) its cool and all but the casing makes the phone like 4 times as heavy and adds like 2 inches of thickness

Any news on a jailbreak yet?

 

[joe billionaire]

phones been acting kind of slow not wanting to wake, i have to hold the power button a little bit longer for it to react, havent dropped it or anything

 

[thekillerj23]

Anybody know if this will get addressed, I even restored my phone and did not work. I guess you have to restore the phone as new phone and then bring stuff from backup...what a pain

Pls help me

I'm a new sprint customer and I bought the iphone 5 in October

I want to cancel it and go back to AT&T or try Verizon. Sprint service in NY is disgusting. I have no problem paying the termination fee

Would I be able to keep my phone and number and switch to a different carrier?

You can keep your number but that Sprint phone is pretty much useless outside of Sprint. You can't activate it on Verizon. I'm not sure if there is a Gevey sim that works for the iPhone 5 yet. Even if you went back to AT&T the LTE wouldn't work on that phone. Sprint does the most to make sure you can't use their phones on another carrier. They even embed the sim cards on their Android phones smh.

 

[lucasofwg]

Wow so I'm stuck with a pos sprint iphone 5

I was warned about this but I was so thirsty to cop and these were all that were left
