What device(s) are you experiencing the problem on?
Nexus 5
What firmware version are you running on the device?
Android 4.4
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the following script (with python interpreter):

#!/usr/bin/python

import android
droid = android.Android()

# go to airplane mode

droid.toggleAirplaneMode()

droid.makeToast('exiting')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The phone should toggle the state of airplane mode. Instead the airplane mode 
command returns: Result(id=2, result=None, 
error=u'java.lang.NullPointerException')

SL4Ar6
python interpreter v 16

Logcat has the following line:

apparently the location of the airplane mode setting has moved from 
Settings.System to Settings.Global in API 17.

apparently Android 4.2 has disabled write access to airplane mode from apps. 
Why?
