Comparing Size of "Other" in Phone Storage and Storage Check

[Chris_Kez]

After reading about the latest update for Shrink Storage I thought I would see how bad "Other" has gotten on my Lumia 920. So I went into settings and first looked at Nokia Storage Check then looked at the stock Phone Storage. Both list Free Space at about 1.5 GB, and System at about 1.7 GB, but results for Other (and everything else) are very different. Can anyone explain in detail how everything is calculated?

Stock phone storage counts app data into the "other" while Lumia storage checker puts app data into "apps" section, hence the larger "other" storage in the stock app.

That closes the gap a little (app data is 2.8 GB), but its still off by 3GB.
