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

 

I agree, since nothing controls the connections through QtBearer (and
the platform doesn't want that), and AP lists are not allowed in
contained apps, it makes sense to simply remove them.

I've fixed up that patch in regards to d'tor disconnects, removed some
redundant code.

And since it was a small change, I fixed up the defaultConfiguration
code that would not correctly detect when the default route changed from
mobile to wifi, thus possibly allowing network requests to go through
expensive mobile data when wifi is available.

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
