[Bug 1480877] Re: Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile devices

 

FWIW, I see the weird new behavior on every test with wifi enabled, even
when the screen is on and the phone is actively doing something.  For
example, while playing music:

results/2015-12-08_09:19:36-krillin-196-power_usage_music/graph.png

... versus how it looked before:

http://people.canonical.com/~platform-qa/power-
results/2015-12-08_04:50:02-krillin-195-power_usage_music/graph.png

But in flight mode, both graphs are a flat line barely above zero:

http://people.canonical.com/~platform-qa/power-
results/2015-12-08_11:07:01-krillin-196-power_usage_flight_mode_on/graph.png

So, it's not just while sleeping; it's any time wifi is enabled.

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
