Yes it still crashed when I had only your app available for an update. Later in the evening another /a few apps had updates available. I just hit update all and it worked without issue. For some reason if you try to view the app page is when it would crash.

Hi. I know this is an old thread but I couldn't find tech support for your app. I got the pro version and it's very cool. I noticed you can open apps and that works. However, with S-Voice and Google Now, after you open them once and they go into the background, you can't bring them to the forefront using your app. I hope you are still watching this thread.

I purchased the app because it's great. I use this with bluetooth in the car all the time. However, recently the app has not been working for me. I hear the play sound on action but nothing occurs. Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? I'm on AOKP JB 4.2.1 Build 2.2.2013b.

Oh, interesting I hadn't used it with S-Voice to notice this behavior.
I'm working on some under the hood changes that get Wave Control to work better in the background. I just tried it with S-Voice and it works like it should. I'm still only part of the way done with this version but hopefully it won't take too much longer. Hopefully just a few days.
Let me know after the next update comes out if you still run into any issues.
Have you tried it with different music apps? Did it start misbehaving after you changed ROMs or after a Wave Control update?
Try to uninstall then reinstall the app. Also make sure you set the Target Media App in the Settings tab.
Oh, and which phone do you have?
just stopping by to report that Wave Control is working nicely on my "ancient" G2 running AOSP 4.2.1. :good:
It's pretty badass to have my phone plugged into the sound system and only having to wave/hover to switch things up. :highfive:

I tried google play music and doubletwist player and uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I have an ATT SGS3 I-747 and will be trying a clean rom.
Works on my sgs but I have to be so close to my phone !! But good job it works fine

Ah I feel so embarrassed
. The target media app was cleared and it works again.

Will do. I have a galaxy note2 with stock 4.1.2 JB on it btw. Your app works fine with jetplayer and other media players. It's just the voice control apps. Maybe I'll install speaktoit and vlingo to see if its only that class of app.
Thx

On my Galaxy Note, the app is not responding to my waves or hovers. It just doesn't do anything. Also, when I test the proximity sensor, it doesn't recognize any movements. Do you know what can be the problem? Running stock 4.1.2 rooted.
I had this issue. Try restarting the target media app then choosing your music player again.

Tried it, but that doesn't work either. Seems like my proximity sensor doesn't respond to the movements. However, I have checked and the sensor works fine though. Any other solutions?

Try to uninstall the reinstall the app. If that doesn't work, then wave over the sensor a few times and hit the Send Feedback button on the Info tab. That will send me some of the sensor info. I'm worried that Samsung may have changed their sensor values in 4.1.2 on the Note.

Thanks! Reinstalling didn't work, but I will send you the sensor info. Hopefully it can be fixed, really love your app.
Thanks for sending in the info. It's looks pretty normal.. hmmmmm.
I just put out another update and changed a few things around. Let me know if helps!

Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
Update 31/08/2012: Jelly Bean users are getting force closes in the Play Store app when navigating to Wave Control -- The free version's apk is available to download on this post. Please if it's working for you in Play Store download from there.. I need the install count
Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music/movie playback (free version) and more (paid version).
I developed this originally on the Note and luckily it happened to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Now I've moved on to the SGSIII and it works just as well! Works best on the SGSIII, Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
Performance will vary depending on which sensor your phone uses. All HTC phones use the same slow one. Samsung uses about 3 different vendors and more models.. most are good, Sony is usually ok, Motorola is a mixed bag. I try to account for some of the differences in the sensors. But be aware you may have to wave at a different speed than in the youtube videos.
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version or upgraded free version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Screen Toggle On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Fast Forward, Rewind, and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)

I finally got past some major procrastination and added in profiles.
You can have up to 4 profiles.
Each profile contains all the settings and the commands you assigned to each gesture.
How I'm using it:
Profile 1:
Target Media App: Music Player
Screen Off only mode
Hover: Play/Pause
1 - Wave: Next
2 - Wave: Screen On/Off Toggle
3 - Wave: Enable/Disable
Profile 2:
Target Media App: MX Player
Screen On Only Mode
Hover: Play/Pause
1 - Wave: Fast Forward
2 - Wave: Rewind
3 - Wave: None
Let me know what you guys think!
What's Next:
Gonna spend some time on getting the tablet version ready for beta. Then, work on Tasker control of the Profiles. Then... widgets.4Tasker Tasker Tasker
V2.30 Has just been posted to the Play Store
With it brings support for Tasker by way of a Tasker Plugin.
From Tasker, you can now switch profiles. And Profiles allow you to set all settings and gesture assignments, so now Tasker can pretty much fully setup Wave Control.
Find "Wave Control Plugin" in Tasker's "Plugin" section for actions.
Note: Pro or Assignable Actions Upgrade is required for access to profiles and thus this feature.1Great app
How about tasker integration? I would love to be able to activate/deactivate from within tasker. Another cool feature would be able to change the "key mapping" from within tasker. Say at some point I want 3 waves to turn on the screen, yet at sone other point it should simply do nothing.
I've just bought the pro version and like what I've seen so far

I do plan on some Tasker integration. I want to setup profiles first. Each profile would be a set of actions mapped to the gestures and the target app. Then once that's in place have Tasker be able to control that.
It's all coming... just have to fix some stuff first1That sounds great
How about being able to activate/deactivate as well?
