Switching Off Mobile
Why you wanna switch off everyday?
To clear off the RAM
If you are on Android, install 3rd party apps like Greenify, Clean Master, Smart Booster to manage.

Thanks Bro !
Although switchng & restarting isn't nearly same as using a RAM cleaner, I've found restarting does help once a while & generally speeds up the phone. There's nothing wrong with it.
And yes, don't use these "RAM cleaners"
Restarting Once a day is very Good practice.. Doing that before doing the night charge cycle is doing wonders for me!!

I am reading this for first time.I have always used Greenify for this.
On my Moto X (1st gen) active display stops occasionally. Rebooting the device solves the problem. So I agree that rebooting the device is a good practice. Although fixing a schedule is a bit going extra. One should reboot the device in case any abnormal behaviour is experienced. In this behaviour Android resembles Windows... Where most issue seems to resolve with a reboot.
I hate to disagree but some OEMs have integrated this option in their settings.. And it isn't doing any harm anyway.
Use it till it bleeds to death (switched-off) and recharge it to full 100%
this will increase battery life also
this will increase battery life also
Nope.
I have seen people recharging battery 2~4 times a day even if the battery is quite good (20~30%)
but I remember in one of the forums that using the battery completely and recharging it to 100% from ground zero will increase its life.\
also OP can install Quick Shutdown apps to switch-off the mobile instead on pressing HW power off

Also, I haven't found an app that can restart/reboot phone without needing root.
I have some doubts about the differences in shutdown process between app induced shutdown and power button shutdown. May be the app induced shutdown prevents some housekeeping functions from running as it is relatively faster and more abrupt compared to power button shutdown (in my phone at least).
What difference? Screen on time?
Which OEM is forcing timed restarts?
I tend to agree. When I reboot my phone through a reboot app, it shutdowns instantly. Like in the blink of an eye. Whereas, when I shutdown through power button, it takes a while.
I have stopped using reboot app for the time being.
Better battery life and almost no wakelocks. Also i didn't say OEM forcing to do it. Just an option to use it. I have seen it in Samsung LP.
Yeah, the difference is when you press the reboot through menu, it will turn off your phone completely and then turn it on. When you do it through an app, its just rebooting, it doesn't turn off the phone, it just starts rebooting from bootanimation screen.
I am afraid you might have a wrong idea then. You can't turn on the phone, without first turning it off.
The boot animation can't come unless bootloader is loaded, which can only happen when a phone is starting up.
So far from what I have observed, the only difference rebooting with the app (and not from physical button) is that it doesn't shutdown the phone properly, rather it's like pulling out the battery. After which normal startup procedure is performed, from Boot Rom to Bootloader to Linux kernel (init process) to zygote to system server, which finally boots the phone.

My apologies, I confused with soft reboot seen in Xposed App.. And soft reboot only restarts zygote process there by, quickly rebooting the device.
That sounds like an interesting Xposed app. Might try this instead of using reboot apps.
Any idea whether this Xposed App tries to shutdown the phone first before rebooting from zygote step?
It seems again you have miss understood me. I was talking about the xposed installer - which is used to install other modules. It has two options
1) soft reboot
2) reboot
And if you want modules just for different types of reboot, try Gravity Box or APM +
There is also a difference between the full reboot done by Xposed and Link2SD. While Link2SD is near instantaneous, Xposed seems to follow the power button procedure to some extent.
