Ok, so now that I got this phone I want to know what should be my charging schedule with it? If I charge it every night, wont that degrade the battery over time? Should I about once a month completely kill it then recharge it to make the battery works fine? Is thats whats called a charge cycle? How often should I do it? Anyone know how the process should be? If I recharge it every night will it mess up the battery?

Hello Nick-Bit.
Lithium-Ion batteries are pretty easy to take care of, as they've evolved considerably over the older Lithium batteries, and especially over Nickel Cadium ("Ni-Cad").
For one thing, they love to be "topped," whereas in the old days, it was important to drain most batteries as much as possible prior to recharging due to "memory," which was the likelihood of the battery remembering the percent to be charged and then only allowing that percentage of charge over time.
When you have time, have a read here for great advice on batteries and all the info to back up that advice:
