I keep it off because as I ride a train it's connecting to every station wifi and losing it just as quick, completely breaking connectivity.

Turn off "ask to join" and it will only connect to known networks.

The station wifi is known though, so when I have a long wait for a train at a station I'm not burning data on YouTube

You can set the known network not to connect automatically. But you can only access that setting when you are in range.

I didn't know about that setting, thanks for the tip. Will definitely come in handy.
