When going to the Accounts page of System Settings, and attempting to add a Google/Twitter/etc… OAuth based account on my Nexus 4, the plug-ins are appearing to crash, and I get sent back to the accounts list. This appears to be due to poor network connectivity, as I'm on wifi, but the AP is at the other end of my house, resulting in poor connection which often drops. If I move the phone close to the AP, the pages then load and do not seem to crash, as the connectivity is greatly improved.

Instead of crashing/exiting/whatever is happening, I think these plug-ins need to show an error or something, to tell the user something is wrong. Otherwise, it simply appears the software is very crashy.
