If you would like to help put Wave Control in your native language, please email me!
Player Compatibility List:
Any Music/Streaming/Video app that supports "Headset Controls"
Easy to use, just wave your hand over the sensor (usually located just next to the earpiece on your phone).
Holding it there (hover) - Pause/Resume
One wave across - Next Song
Two waves across - Previous Song
Three times - Enable/Disable the controls
*Be sure to enable Headset Button Control in your player of choice
Some Notes:
Tip for the hover gesture: if you move your hand away too quickly it'll register a wave
After an action, there is a 1 second delay before another gesture will be registered
Practice your wave techniques by checking the "Last Action"
If you're getting another player responding to the commands, use the Set Target Media App setting
**IMPORTANT**
The sensor WILL behave differently on different phones. I don't have the resources to test every phone. If there is a problem, please email me at marksthinktank@gmail.com and give me a chance to figure it out before leaving a bad review!
Incompatibility List:
*HTC EVO 4G (erratic sensor reading cause commands to trigger on their own)
Permissions Needed:
Wake Lock: So it will work when the screen is off on some phones
Read Phone State: So it can switch modes when phone is ringing or in-call
Vibrate: To use when screen if off or app not in focus
Write Settings: For Screen Off functionality
Get Tasks: For Recent Apps functionality
Call Phone: For new Call Controls options
Modify Audio Settings: For Speakerphone in call controls
(Optional) Device Admin - Screen Lock: Used as an alternative method to turn off the screen if the default one does not work. It will need to be disabled prior to uninstalling the app if used.

Had this on an S3, still runs great on a Note 3. One issue. The S3 had a basic proximity sensor and detected gestures through the number of waves. The Note 3 has a Directional proximity sensor and the app reflects this by listening instead to the direction of the wave. Why not both?

I see some users experiencing problems. Contact the developer. You can't accomplish anything through the review forumn. It gives them a bad name for a great product. They will solve your issue.

It used to work great, but as soon as my phone updated to Android 5.0, there is often a 10, 20, even 30 second or longer delay before it responds. Please update, I really like to use this app while driving, but right now it is useless

This app is ace! However, a big issue is the amount of battery it consumes. A brilliant idea would be a toggle ON/OFF widget...How about it Dev?

Works as described. Note 2. Battery drains a little to fast but that would be my only negative. Still does way more positives then negatives. Great app. No more looking down while driving to change songs or answer the phone. Keep up good work.

1. would suggest to make this app compatible with our gallery so that we can scroll through pictures. 2.Make a per app mode. (Franco Kernel Updater have this kind of option, Maybe you can check it out). 3.Compatible with our browser so that we can scrool up and down, and also zoom in and out. Thank You for making this great app.
