It doesn't seems to be doing anything wrong provided
g-properties-changed is actually doing what its the documentation says
any properties changed signal should be trigger its callback.

Well the fact that you are able to see this using dbus-monitor already
indicate that the problem is on the client side, something is probably
preventing it to reach the callback.

I was looking for a way to check which signal handlers are connected to the dbus object through command line but I couldn’t find.

I suppose the BlueZ version is 5.37 since 3.37 is ancient, actually
3.37 does not even exists, the Kernel version is also pretty old to
work with LE properly.
