This doesnt happen all of the time, its super random, and super annoying. I can clear the memory, and close all the tasks. Set my phone down and forget about it for say 30 minutes. Then i turn the screen on and it has lost 10% of the battery life. This has happened on a couple different batteries, so obviously its the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
 
The way android task management works is that it is designed to have some apps running all the time, in order to have them ready to go the next time you open the,, without having to wait for them to open. With what you are describing, it sounds like your phone could be automatically reopening those apps after you close them, causing your phone to stay awake after you turn the screen off, and draining your battery
 
Well, you don't need to close all your apps and clear out your memory. At this point (android 4.1 for your phone I believe) android is good enough at managing it's own memory and works better when the RAM is close to full.
