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

 

I have the bug again. 
I'm on rc-proposed r102, krillin, using network manager 0.9.10.0-4ubuntu15.1.7

Some stats: 
Every 10-15 seconds I get a burst of 50 PropertiesChanged which lock my phone for about 4 seconds.

So, every 15 seconds, 4 seconds of frozen UI.

"nmcli d" reports WiFi as connected to the office network (as it should
be).

this is the "grep NetworkManager /var/log/syslog" since I got to the office (I don't remember having this issue at home this morning)
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12123687/

this is the output of "dbus-monitor --system" in one of the 4 seconds freezes.

the output of the wifi script is
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12123727/



After getting those logs I disabled WiFi and the freezes disappeared (and the flooding in dbus-monitor with them)



Then I reenabled WiFi, it took something like 1 minute before the phone stopped being laggy like hell (while the wifi list was populating in the indicator panel)....AND THE PROBLEM IS BACK :)

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
