If the outlet is powered with the key off, then yes it will slowly drain the battery.
To unfreeze a phone, you will have to turn the phone off or restart it. You can do this by holding down the power button. If this does not work, you will have to wait for the battery to drain and recharge it.
When the phone is turned off, the battery provides a trickle of power to maintain the memory in the phone.
something is causing a drain on the battery when switch is turned off
Because if you reversed the polarity at the battery it would blow the fuse through which current flows to the drain.
Maybe if you left it in there for a loooog period of time. I have left my cell phone charging (palm pre plus) in my car, with the engine off, for 4 hours and the car started fine.
No, a mobile phone with a flat battery will normally switch itself off as there is not enough power to sustain the standby mode, the phone will not ring whilst it is 'off'.
It could be a bad battery.
If it stays on all the time it will drain the battery
Yes, that would definitely drain the battery.
Yes, WiFi does waste your phone's battery. It is wise to turn off WiFi on your phone to prolong its battery life, particularly when you are not able to charge it.
Even when a phone is off - it still uses a minute amount of power from the battery. It constantly checks the circuitry to see if the power button has been pressed. Even a fully-charged battery will eventually run down in a phone that's switched off.
