Whoever runs that Wi-Fi network either shut it down or configured it so you can no longer see it/connect to it. If you don't wish to be on LTE all the time, I'd highly recommend you get your own Wi-Fi network/Internet connection (and properly secure it with WPA2). It's unwise to trust open/unsecured networks as those running them or others using the network may be able to snoop on you (see your personal information as it passes over the unsecured network).

This post kind of reminds me of that Tech Guy show where the lady called to ask why the "linksys" went away, and it turned out she had been stealing WiFi for years.

The same with me but i solved it. The problem is from the application dat i installed. When i removed it every thing became ok.
Read the permission of every application you wanna install or and install Kaspersky anti-virus to take care about this issue
