@Andrea Thanks for the updates.
So our theory that this is related to a large number of APs doesn't pan out, as you're able to reproduce this at the office with only 25 access points involved ( per the output of my script ). Also, I'm pretty sure the problem is related to WiFi roaming. It appears when you first enable WiFi at Bluefin, goes away when WiFi is disabled, and re-appears when WiFi is re-enabled while at Bluefin. Looking at your syslog output, I see your phone associate with the office network around 10:40:05, however I also see a suspicious message right before the connection activation succeeds: Aug 19 10:40:05 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1417]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 18:33:9D:F8:AA:B0 (Canonical-2.4GHz-g) to (none) ((none)) This doesn't appear to affect your connection though, as there's no subsequent disconnect, and I also see multiple DHCP renewals on wlan0 @ 10:48, 10:56, 11:05, and 11:14. As for dbus-monitor output, we're really more concerned with the traffic on the session bus. Can you please try disabling the upstart bridge as mentioned in comment #14? > * This next step may break other things on your system, but it's worth a > try...

Please note whether or not this makes the stuttering go away. Can you also try disabling indicator-network ( as phablet, just run 'stop indicator-network ) and re-test too? Finally, do you have another device ( ie. an arale or mako ) you could compare results against? I'm actually working on a related bug for BQ, and may have another test package for you to try, but I'd like to see whether disabling the bridge and/or indicator-network has any effect on the issue first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480877 Title: Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1480877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
