iOS 8.3 used/available usage

Updated my iPhone 6 from iOS 8.2 to iOS 8.3 last week. Things were going ok for a little. Then all of a sudden I had a note saying that my storage is almost full! I check my 64g usage meter and I added all my usage together which only comes up to 27.3g That's not even half!!! Did I seriously get ripped off and only have a 32g phone Or is IOS 8.3 at fault. I have seen other complaints about this but no answers yet. Anybody have any idea. It's getting really irritating not being able to take a picture. Also, I just deleted an important 4 minute 3 second video to try and make room, but it didnt work. Still can't take one picture. So frustrating.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, null

Make a back up to iCloud and restore the phone to factory settings then restore from your iCloud backup and all will be good.

Im out on the road right now and don't have access to my laptop. Besides, I hate syncing my phone toy laptop because it brings back all the old apps from my old phone and puts them on my new phone. And it takes forever. To answer your question. Not sure what that would say.

Well, that is the only way to be sure if there is an errant app or something taking up space, generally "Other". If you go to Settings>General>About it will report the Capacity of your device and what is available. How you decide to handle it from here is up to you. If you backup to iCloud, then the previous poster's suggestion about restoring to iCloud is probably the direction you need to head in.
