Regarding the sudden battery drain in Hawaii: that sounds a lot like a device trying to connect to a wifi (or other) signal and repeatedly failing, which drains battery *fast*. (I gather this has been weaponized. The protesters at Standing Rock reported sudden catastrophic battery drain just as a drone was flying overhead.)

You think you keep the wifi off because the device's UI tells you that the wifi is off. That may not be the same thing.
