You guys... seriously, these "battery saving tricks" aren't going to do it for him. He just confirmed that his phone isn't sleeping when it's being shut off. This happens to some new phones, it happened to mine, there are a ton of topics about this. The ONLY way to fix it is a hard reset. When you hit the button on the top of the phone, after a few seconds your phone should sleep. Yours isn't. Hard reset, verify that the up time and awake time are different (MUCH different) and boom, your phone is fixed.. You don't need to do any tricks, just get this issue resolved.
