Android Question

Had this sucker since June. Samsung Victory, running Android 4.1.2.
My phone has always had a mind of its own and I don't like it :/. In particular, it's always had a problem leaving WiFi off. I unplug it at night and am quite frustrated when I wake up and find that despite the fact that I'd turned WiFi off before going to bed, it had turned it back on independently and used more battery than it needed to otherwise. It seems to do this every 15 minutes or so when I check it during the day.
It also changes my text ringtone to the system default quite randomly- I never really know which of the two sounds I'll get. It also annoys me that when I have headphones in and the text message notification goes off, it doesn't just play it through the headphones. I like to know I have a text message and a vibration isn't enough when I'm in the gym, but I'd prefer the whole world not to hear.
The biggest issue is that it has started removing songs from playlists. The first time I removed the SD card, I noticed it cleared the songs from all my playlists, so I stopped doing that. I also don't clear data on the music app. Yesterday, it removed all but 5 songs from my running playlist. I spent 20 minutes adding the ~200 songs back into it last night. Today, they're gone. AGAIN. For no apparent reason. I haven't moved files around on my SD card, cleared any data, removed the card...nothing other than usual daily functions which in the past have not caused it to clear the playlists. I really don't feel like adding songs to playlists again every time I'm about to go for a run. Why is it doing this and what can I do to fix it? Other than throwing it against a brick wall- that would make me pretty happy if it had no financial consequences.
That covers the major issues for now. Thanks in advance!
