Can someone explain to me how doing a "wipe" with the available programs is a benefit over a straight upgrade. Reason I ask is when you upgrade using DM it "wipes"(deletes the old os) after creating a backup then installs the new os. I just can't figure out why using a "wipe" program has any greater benefit
Please someone clarify

Some would disagree, but I see no benefit to it. I've tried OS loads both ways and there were absolutely no differences. If the OS had flaws, I saw them under both install instances. Just my findings though....
I seem to notice that all the people who have unique problems with installs tend to preface their experience with a declaration of having wiped the device first. I get the feeling that there are some settings which get nuked that aren't saved and replaced by the backup.
Personally, I just fire up AppLoader and click-through. Thusfar, no weird problems that aren't confirmed OS bugs.
Its suggested to wipe every 3-4 updates. When I wiped my storm I did notice an increase in app memory however. Also honestly it takes like 2 seconds to wipe the device but its not required.
