That's pretty easy when one considers what changed between the first time we see him in the film and the time we finally wakes up. Rey is on the planet.
We don't know just how the various Skywalkers have upgraded this droid's sensors, but we do know he tends to be able to fine what he is looking for. Best guess is that Luke set up some parameters for R2 to turn on, and whatever they were, they were in place after Rey arrived. If R2 has s force sensitive detector that is designed to filter out Leia and Ben because Luke's not looking for them, R2 could be looking for Luke's next student to arrive. Are if we are to assume that Luke is aware of her somehow, he's have set R2 to activate if she ever turned up. You know how the Skywalkers can get when they get visions of the future.
So you're saying Luke somehow managed to equip R2 to sense a Force sensitive, and to activate only when he did so? Beyond the sensor plausibility....that's not bad. |

If they Jedi can do blood screening, than a sensor can be designed. R2 was in low power mode, not completely off, thus this sensor, whatever it is, could have been on.
Assuming he wasn't specifically waiting for Rey, at which point he'd just have a biological sensor set to alert him when she arrived.

UGH! The midichlorians were a bad plot device that could be quantified in a way that allowed Force ability to be measured. What's more, a physical sample had to be taken in order to get a count. Though how the hell it could be analyze over the comm is a bit contrived as well.  Second part makes better sense. If he can scan for life forms, then it's more than likely he could also scan for an individual that he had previously been able to scan before she was dropped off at the sitter's.  |

I really just figured R2 was on the whole time listening but he refused to acknowledge anyone until the rest of the map was found

Then why didn't he wake up the first time they were at the base, and BB-8 pulled the blanket off of him? |

They were not worthy yet. They had to go blow something up first. |

I thought R2 was busy having an out of body experience while trying to remotely interpret the First Order's entire computer network. |

Turns out R2 was not a droid; there was a person inside of him the whole time.

Duh, that's why they had too bleep out everything he said, because the person inside had a very bad mouth. |

Well he does know the rules. He's been there the whole time it seems. One Skywalker or another around exploding things. |
