Could it be that the wifi is still on? Although I notice that it appears to be off as there are no bars indicating connection. That said even if the wifi was not connected but still on it would be a drain to the battery. its just an educated guess but i do know wifi activly drains power, not sure what the power consumption would be in idle mode, food for thought at any rate.
