As we all know the government can trace our phone when we are making a call but can they trace a cell phone when its off and when its on but not in use??

No. The wireless "radio" inside the phone is shut down and not functioning, but the "IMEI" of your phone is the international tracking number.

Definitely yes... Most mobilephone phones has an "standby vigour" that most often mobilephone goes off earlier than making use of that section off battery vigour. How ever in some phone telephones like older models (java situated) of sonyericsons could manually activate and use that vigor ! Even when u flip off your mobile its some how lively ;) to preserve for illustration date and time and some other tasks ... So when u turn off your phone it could actually receive a sign that turns the mobile on ( in old telephone telephones) and in newer version simply built in GPS ! Depending for your mobile mobile u will have to open it and cast off GPS chip... How ever in some telephones its not possible

I don't think so, because on a crime show I watch they can only track someone's phone when it's on. The person turned it off and they lost the signal. So i don't think so.

impossible. the phone needs to transmit something to the satellites to reflect it back to a gps tracker.
phone off=no transmissions. period.
