iPhone FORCING wifi "on"?

(updated to clarify)
Apparently I poorly chose a thread title. (see ridiculing replies below)

I had a new issue with my iPhone 4 last week.
I'm #ATTfail iP4, 5.0.1 JB untethered, "Unlimited" Data Plan (ha ha)

As I got near an apparent #ATTfail wifi hotspot, my phone dropped the 3G connection and jumped to wifi. I dislike this, but it's not new.

So I hit the Wifi toggle in SBSettings to turn Wifi off and go back to 3g. A few minutes later I noticed Wifi seemed to be on again. So I went back to SBSettings and hit the Wifi toggle to OFF, AGAIN, thinking I must have missed it the first time. Then I notice Wifi has AGAIN turned itself back on and connected to the #ATTfail hotspot. I got PISSED. I went into Settings and turned off Wifi AGAIN, via the standard ios settings, and watched, before I even left the submenu, as it turned itself back on and reconnected AGAIN within seconds.

I went back in, went into the wifi settings for the #ATTfail hotspot, and told it to "forget this network" (or whatever that option was). Then I watched it turn itself back on, and reconnect AGAIN. I went in and toggled on the "prompt me to join networks" (forgive my paraphrasing), forgot the network, turned off wifi, and it turned itself on, didn't ask me, and reconnected to the forgotten network AGAIN.

My friend suggested that it was only happening because there was no 3g available, but there was, and we were right next to a busy freeway, shopping center, residential area, and I'm sure there was an #ATTfail store in the mall somewhere.

I don't often find myself near #ATTfail wifi hotspots, so maybe some of this is normal... But can it really turn on my wifi against my will??? It's not even a suggestion? It just does it without permission, even AFTER I specifically forgot that network connection and turned it off?

Thanks

 

Thank you for contributing absolutely nothing to this thread. You are a credit to the forum.

That's why I tried turning it off (repeatedly) through IOS itself after the SBSettings toggle failed. It still kept turning back on.

 

That's why I am confused.
-Wifi turned off via SBSettings toggle multiple times.
-Wifi turned off via built in settings multiple times.
-Phone restarted twice, same results afterwards with both methods.

So it's not #ATTfail, regardless of who/where I am connecting then, I'm still questioning how wifi can keep turning itself back on.

 

If it is a JB app, that narrows it down pretty quick. I have a suspect in mind, but I can't test until I'm near an #ATTfail hotspot again so the problem will recur.

 

It's the same concept as an URL on paper. You can't click a sheet of paper. You can still look up the URL.
