This happened to me last night while i was trying out new ROMs and themes, i just thought i messed up somewhere with a few extra Mods i flashed so i just went to stock and back up and it was fine, but i guess it was something else.
I was running Superclean 1.0 ROM with the kernel that came with it. With Superdark theme. I had flashed Rubiks and when it booted back up I had the airplane mode problem and all of this happend right around 1AM or so.
I live in Northern NJ... pretty much NYC (i can walk to GW bridge)
I felt better when i thought it was my own incompetence... hope this doesnt happen again randomly
