Thanks for the comment and DBus logs.

In the original bug report, NetworkManager's WiFi device was stuck
connecting to an access point which no longer existed.  Also as noted,
the access point in question was a softAP configured on a machine
running Windows8.1.  Rebooting, solved his issue.

In order to make further progress on this bug, what we really need is a
concrete set of steps to reproduce the issue.

Title:
  Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile
  devices

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Krillin, rc-proposed, r83

  
  DESCRIPTION:
  I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor

  Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor:
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/

  I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals
  and acts accordingly.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE: 
  1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available
  2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor"
  3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output
