It does depend to some degree on your phone settings. You should be able to select something for asking or not asking to join known networks, and if you select no (or not on) then you will automatically join known networks. But you most likely won't have a Sam's public wifi as a known network, so you shouldn't likely join automatically. About turning your wifi off...if you're worried about battery life you're probably impacted more by location services being on, or anything that uses the GPS like mapping software, or your bluetooth can drain heavily. But just by having your cell service on and not in airplane mode your phone is connecting all the time.F350-6 wrote:Sorry for the dumb question, but do phones normally just log onto a wifi connection without any prompts? I don't have an I phone, but I didn't think they did that.
I keep my wifi turned off because I heard it improves battery life. Don't really know a lot about it, but don't like the idea of the phone just connecting to whatever it wants to on it's own.

Re: Sam's Wifi blocks Texas CHL Forum
Yup. This site doesn't actually have any meta tag keywords enabled, but the keyword density is high enough around the term "guns" that it would be blocked as the blocking services use that type of analysis to set the filter thresholds. Unfortunately this is nothing new -- a Google search will show that at least as of 2013 that KFC, Taco Bell, Wendy's all were doing the same blocking on gun related sites.
