Same thing is happening with my brand new L90 right out the box. Did you by chance not have a SIM in it? Not that a missing SIM should do something to drain the battery instantly. I have yet to put a SIM in mine. I think i caught mine turning itself on. I know when I put it in the box the first time after shutting it down, it was off. I went to put the charge in the box a while later and the LG screen was on.
