@awe I'm sorry if the two things are mixing up :(

I should probably file another bug for the connection loop...

When I filed this bug the softAP didn't exist yet, so that can't have
been the cause.

We have two (related) problems here:
1) when you're in an area with many access points, many PropertiesChanged signals are fired and they slow down the device for 2-3 seconds

2) when NM gets stuck connecting to a network which doesn't exist,
PropertiesChanged signals are fired in an endless loop (well, it pauses
2-3 secs every time before firing all signals again)

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
