Comments on Wave Control Pro for Android

★★★★★ Hands Free Music Control 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?
★★★★★ Excellent app Works flawlessly on my device. I hope to see more gestures in the future. Very excited to see developers embracing gesture control...it's the future of input.
★★★★★ Great app but Auto stops sometimes. Also would be great to have the thumper. Include that in the next update and fix auto stop and I will rate with 5 stars.
★★☆☆☆ Does not work on new Sansung phones. Upgraded from my Note 9 to an S21 and now does not work. PLEASE fix. I really liked this app and will be happy to change my review if fixed. thanks
★★☆☆☆ Keeps crashing on xiaomi mi5. This is normally an awesome app but now it just keeps crashing on my phone, please fix if you can.
★★☆☆☆ :( I have heard this app is great but I have a lot od accidental music plays on my samsung galaxy express i8730. Now I cant get a refund either. Please let me get a refund or fix this device. My email is ziyan67@hotmail.com.

Languages:
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) This app uses the Device Administrator permission. - 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.
