Go playstore download an app called Wakelock Detector. Check what apps are running when your screen is off. Then either change the settings of those apps or delete them.

If you're rooted, download Greenify from playstore and that will help you hibernate your apps automatically after your screen is off.

Try it out.

Do factory reset best.
