Phone storage says my other storage is 5.39GB. Storage check says 1.6GB.
Apps on phone storage says 3.32GB. Storage check says 4.1GB.
The clear storage option only deals with a subset of what Phone Storage calls "other"
On mine I have
Phone storage:
9.79Gb used out of 29.12Gb, consisting of:
4.84Gb music + videos
25.18Mb pictures
1.06Gb apps
1.92Gb other
1.95Gb system
19.33Gb free
Storages check says:
9.7Gb used out of 29Gb
1.6Gb Apps
6.2Gb Media & files
1.9Gb System
19Gb Free space
In details:
1.6Gb Apps (1.3Gb apps + 278Mb app data)
228Mb Temp files
103Mb Photos
4.8Gb Music + video
Office docs 672Kb
Email + contacts 97Mb
Maps 320Mb
Ringtones 680Kb
System 1.9Gb
Other 762Mb
So, the only way I can get the two "other" figures to get close to adding up is as follows:
"Phone Storage Other" = "Storage Check Details Other + app data + temp files + photos + office docs + email/contacts + maps + ringtones"
If I'm right, then your Storage Check Details app data + temp files + photos + office docs + email/contacts + maps + ringtones should add up to about 3.7Gb.
It's just a theory though and your figures could disprove it completely.
