[Beta 2] Not starting automatically - must turn on screen

I have a task tool (Llama) that will kill AirDroid when my home Wifi disconnects - and start AirDroid when I connect to my home Wifi.

The problem is, even though AirDroid is started, it does not actually "open" (thus starting the built-in web server) until I turn the screen on.

This was a problem in v1.x also, I was hoping this would be fixed in v2?

btw... I was previously using Remote Web Desktop (an AirDroid-like app) and it was working fine doing the exact same things. As does many other apps I start/stop based on my location, Wifi connection, etc

they need to fix this problem. At this point, v2 beta has not been updated ever and the devs don't respond to posts... I'm wondering if this app is dead.
