THIS IS WRONG, DO NOT LET YOU BATTERY DIE ALL THE WAY. Newer lithium batteries aren't like older nickel batteries where you had to discharge them all way then do a full charge. Constantly discharging your lithium battery on a regular will in fact cause more harm than good. Also, I keep my phone on the charger when its fully charged for hours on end at times and not once have I ever had it drop 10% after taking off the charger or even after 30 minutes for that matter.
