Help My phone randomly changes profiles?

My Galaxy S3 randomly changes sound profiles. For example I put it on Vibrate it changes to Sound after few hours. After few hours it will change back to Vibrate, this is a serious problem as this happens in school and I could get my phone confiscated. I have downloaded Tasker, but no profiles has something like this, 1 is for school, but it only says to Vibrate for these hours and change back to Sound, but this isn't the case it even happens on Weekends, please help.
 
What other apps do you have that could cause this? For example, Sound Manager lets you schedule changes in volumes, but if you tell the phone to mute, the next sound manager schedule will override the mute.

I don't have any apps that would change sound, no sound related apps, some games, social apps some widgets and that's about it
 
Couple of questions. Did your phone do this before you downloaded tasker? If not it could be a setting inside the app that's causing this, I find it to be overly complicated. Which android version is your s3 running? If you are on 4.1 upwards on jelly bean you should have blocking mode on it, you can get to it by pulling down the notification bar and scrolling along it. That will let you set quiet times for your phone. If not I use an app called silent time which you can set for different times each day to mute your phone, it seems to work well.

I can't quite remember I think it didn't do that before tasker so it may cause of tasker, I will try deleting the app, is it possible to keep the data but delete the app so when I re-download it, it will still work as it was before?

I have 4.1 and I know the Jelly Bean has blocking mode, but I wan't it to notify me which is why I put it on Vibrate, so I can check later on. The problem is that I put it on Vibrate, after some hours it randomly changes to Sound mode.

The problem isn't that the phone's volume rockers are pressed when it's in my pocket as I have a case on it as well as a pattern lock on my phone.
