Description rh.webadmin 2017-06-15 22:16:18 UTC

Operating system: Debian 9 (stable as of 6/17)
Application version: kdeconnect v.1.1
Desktop environment: XFCE 4.12

What works: after turning on the screen of my Android device, kdeconnect on my desktop will connect, and the two will interact and remain connected until I suspend, hibernate, or reboot the computer.

Expected behavior: after suspend, hibernate, or login, kdeconnect will connect to the android phone on its own.

Actual behavior: instead, I must turn on the screen of my phone in order for the desktop application to connect.

when the screen goes off no more UDP broadcast packets are received until screen goes on

This is a limitation of Android.

There's an option to make sure android doesn't put applications to sleep. Here's some literature for the curious.
