For the battery issue I read 30% to 80% as optimal with no long term battery degradation but it is scale wise.
If you can let the battery go down to 20-40% before charge and stop it after 90% but before 100% it will prelong the overall life of your battery.
It is the tail end of charge/discharge that adds the damage.
Why not let it drop to 10% then? What if you have a powercut? Also, why not keep it as close to optimal on at least one cycle?
I am a fairly light use so tend to charge every couple of days once it drops below 40% and do so while working so I can have a chance of takeing it off before it hits 100 with the cable still in. If it's abiove 40% at bed time though I will charge it the next morning.
Smart lights, smart plug and a smart USB passthough have added 3 separate apps to th phone which do seem to eat battery faster but do not show up in the battery usage stats though. I have a hunch that apps can mask usage by routing it through Android System.
