XFINITY Hotspot and wi-fi battery drain
I'll try to keep it simple.
A bar I go to now has an XFINITY wi-fi hotspot set up.
Scenario: you pick up your phone to use it's Safari browser and instantly, a very intrusive XFINITY screen pops up with two options: Join the XFINITY network or, chose some other network. There is no "go away and leave me alone" option.
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.
