No real right or wrong way of using it--some do it only when the battery is low, others do it when they might be in an area of worse reception or at a time when they are using the phone more, others do it right from the beginning just to get that much more out of it all the time basically.
We'll I can't see it making any difference on my device. In 90 mins of my phone being on standby whilst playing football tonight it lost like 17% in LPM also when using the device within minutes it lost 3... 21-18% This is the exact reason I switch of the percentage to stop worrying . Now I'm wondering perhaps LPM comes into full effect below 20% so putting it on sooner does little to nothing?..
It helps more when you are not using your phone as much, and less so when you are using it often and/or for some more intensive things. I've tried enabling it from 100% just to see what things are like at the end of the day, and with LPM I've gone through a day with having more than 60% of battery left, when with similar usage I'd usually be down around 20% without LPM.
