It has definatly improved in my lumia 520, the other storage are tipically temp files from games and apps, the issue in wp 8.0 was that, those files wasn't being deleted when they were no longer needed, sinces 8.1 i use the storage sense app to uninstall, and so far it seems it does work, before, my other storage would normally be around 1 gb, now it's only 500-575 mb, it seems that the storage sense app now make's sure that all files get deleted, which is nice

My other storage in my 1020 went from 12gb down to 2gb after installing 8.1, so I think it's been solved

I never had much of a problem myself, but my "other has dropped from about 1 GB to less than a 100 MB.
