About Battery

Hi!

I have just acquired my Xperia SP, and I've got two days of use. But now, i'm curious about some things about the battery.

SP is my first "new generation" smartphone (my old phone was a Galaxy Y), and I wouldn't like to do wrong things to him. I'm a cautious user, so I think the only problem I want to know about is the battery, and I have some questions:

1 - About the first charge, does it need to be longer than 1 hour?

2 - In the first days of the phone, is the battery "weaker"? I don't know if is just an impression, but I think SP was running out of battery faster than my old phone used to. Maybe it's really an impression, because by the battery gauge, there's the % of it. (I don't use 4G).

3 - Is it harmful if I maintain the phone charging for several hours? I use it a lot during the day, along with my computer, so I keep the phone plugged and charging via USB, to prevent more and more loading.

4 - Is it harmful if I use the phone while charging?

Ok guys, the questions i have are these, and I would be glad if anyone could answer them. I really don't want to f*** with this phone.

According to sony its better to keep the phone charged if you gonna be on it for a long time as this will not damage the battery life and 2 if battery is draning quick might be apps runnng in background as i get about a day and a half from using my sp which is not bad andd to add to this try to update software via pc companion or SUS
