Comment (by sisbell):

 The question here is one of user experience. What do we want the behavior
 to be?

 Without network connection, the tor logs say "Stuck at 0% (Network is
 unreachable)" Once user disables airplane mode, it connects correctly
 without needing any other interaction.

 If the network is not available due to airplane mode, the web page will
 show error message "The proxy server is refusing connections"

 Are these considered expected behavior?

 Alternatives are to create notifications to the user. Or to display a
 dialog box that take the user to the Android settings page to disable
 airplane mode.
