Does it hurt the battery to leave the phone on the charger after its fully charged?

I charge overnight and when I wake up the phone shows 100%. As soon as I use it for a few minutes it drops quickly 97-98%/. I put it back on the charger until the green light comes on again and the battery has a much better charge. This indicates what others are saying is true: charging stops once the phone hits 100%. When I put mine back on in the morning it usually takes 20 - 30 minutes to hit 100% again.
think about it mate. touch the charger and its hot even without a phone plugged in. heat energy takes a lot of electricity. the charger is just a transformer (works in similar way to wireless chargers but within the unit) the coil is putting resistance on the electricity and releasing it as heat energy. we have around 3 chargers constantly plugged in lol. ur prob only wasting as much power as those plug-in air freshenersI wonder the same...I like to keep it plugged in while using Pandora/hotspot so when I go out I still have battery life. I find it odd thatthe red charging light status remains red after hitting 100% then after time a notification comes up and says it's charged and to unplug it...hmmph
Also, if I leave my charger plugged in all day am I consuming unnecessary energy?

search playstore for battery calibration or battery calibrator and find one that doesnt require root access (unless youre rooted)
the calibration on my s3 was 8% out according to the app and since using it (follow the instructions) my battery seems to last longer and after taking it off charge it starts at 100% then goes down normaly 1% at a time
Yeah, I downloaded that app and mine was off 3%. Mine still holds charge a little longer when I bump charge it back to 100%. I did it with my iPhone before this one and it worked the same way.
This seems like the 40th time I've posted this (this month), but here goes again.
In short, no it won't hurt and yes the phone quits drawing current after it's charged (with periodic recharges as the battery drains)
