Soft resets fix many problems without erasing data.
When do you decide to do a soft reset?
Any tips for beginners on the best time to reset?

I try to reset my phone before each charge. I do this to make shore the phone is in a better state to charge. IMO it will make your battery last longer in the end. I also charge to 100% because I get an extra day from the extra 20%. They say to charge at 20% and stop at 80% so your only getting half a charge cycle on each charge. But I get one too one and a half days extra charging too 100%. Im getting almost twice the battery life. So it's worth doing IMO. When I charge to 80% it seems to discharge faster. Hope any of this helps.

@JohnMayoka From a security standpoint, you should soft reset (reboot) any device after a couple of days. Certainly every week.

I would add to this post, when should you also do a wipe cache partition.

Both are equally critical to maintain a optimal user experience!

Just set the automatic reboot thing under device maintenance and never worry about it again.
