Let's say I want to use my phone's data plan Fine, but at that point you can't get out of the XFINITY trap. So I close my phone and forget about it.
Now I'm screwed. By battery will forever after drain in less than a day. The only solution is to do a hard reset of your phone.
Turn off wifi and use your data. Also in wifi settings turn off "ask to join network" and then it will only join networks you specifically select.
