The gnome settings app also won't open even after a minute of waiting, whereas the terminal app opens within five seconds.
Now that I think about it, I somehow stopped using the cell/wifi/bluetooth icons since I found it more helpful + responsive to change that stuff from the settings app. Now if you really cannot open the settings app (after a restart?) I see two choices:
1a) find out which files the settings process is reading (top + lsof can be of help)
1b) delete some of those files (when you are reasonable sure it is a corrupt settings file)
2) start over, be it from a backup, sd image or jumpdrive
The settings app takes its time starting up, but it should not take more than 4 or 5 seconds (from the slowest eMMC in use).
From the same eMMC, starting the Terminal takes not more than 2 seconds.
So you -may- have a problem with the memory hardware (formatting / OS image corrupted during download) you are running your installation from.
