My iPhone 3GS is using iOS 4.2 and I had just reset all of the settings. This is what I did leading up to the iPhone being filled up with "other":
1. Synced my music library with iPhone. The music didn't all fit on the iPhone, but it was listed as music.
2. Banshee doesn't have the option like Songbird to organize music folders, so I closed Banshee, moved all of my music to an external drive, started Banshee, and had Banshee import the songs back in, copying the files to their destination.
3. I plugged my iPhone into my computer and synced it with a different playlist.
At this point, Banshee says that my iPhone is completely filled with "other", and according to my iPhone there is 0 free space. The iPod app says that I don't have any content, and I have no way to remove the "other" from my iPhone so as to be able to install applications. The iPhone presented a dialog while I was looking at the iPod that there was something wrong with the pictures app that needed my attention, and when I went to the pictures app, it complained that I couldn't add any more pictures because there was no space. I tried looking at the iPhone with gtkpod, but it popped up 3 dialogs saying that I had to initialize the iPhone, and I clicked okay for the first one and cancel for the remaining dialogs. Now, whenever I start Banshee with my iPhone plugged in, it promptly crashes after consuming 100% CPU for some time. I'm kind of wondering why this feature is included in Ubuntu at all, since it fills up my iPhone with inaccessible music and consumes 100% of my CPU while crashing Banshee. I attached the terminal output of running Banshee with the iPhone plugged in.

Title:
  Songs synced to iPhone 4 do not appear in iPod app

Status in GtkPod iPod Manager:
  New
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  Rhythmbox seems to execute a sync with the iPhone but the new songs do
  not appear after syncing is complete. I tested this with OS 4.1 and
  4.2 on an iPhone 4.

  It does see the phone's song library correctly and recognizes the
  right number of missing songs.  One can delete songs on the phone but
  they are not removed from the phone's library.

  Banshee seems to have similar problems. It goes through an elaborate
  sync process including updating the database on the phone -- or so it
  claims. But again, nothing seems to actually change on the phone. In
  fact, Banshee is all confused about what is music, what is video and
  what is other data on the phone.

  I suspect that some underlying libs are broken. I have tried this with
  a freshly updated version of maverick 10.10 and also tried adding this
  repository for latest updates of libimobiledevice1 (v 1.0.4):
  ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu . Incidentally, after adding
  this repository i can no longer browse the file content of the phone,
  all else is the same.
