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. Other notes: Built from source - https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-kde
when the screen goes off no more UDP broadcast packets are received until screen goes on
