you would think its as simple as that, but i have seen reports of lg automatically connecting to open networks if they are available
theres also the possibility of them adding some cellular transmitter in the future
maybe the only way is the desolder all the wireless antennas...
Can you link these reports? Not that I don't believe it, but I see many comments claiming this and never including any evidence.
Faraday laminate around the antenna also.
