When you say the phone is OFF, do you mean the ringer, or the whole phone?

If you open the phone when it's OFF, does the display light up?

Oh, I'm not that technology illiterate! The phone is entirely off, so therefore, no, the display doesn't light up when it's opened. Thanks for all the time everyone has put into this, but I think I am at a dead end, so I'm giving up. Thanks anyway!

Sorry, we're thinking outside the box. When the phone is 'off' why does it drain the battery? Easiest answer is that it says 'off' and is not telling the truth.

It could be cellular wire-tapping!

Your metal locker is a Faraday cage preventing any EM getting in and out. The phone may be trying to report to big brother even when turned off. Install long wires that you can hook ammeter on, put the turned-off phone in locker but leave ammeter outside and watch it.
