Make sure that the Status Bar Icon is On. This will run the app at the highest priority so that the system won't kill it except for extreme cases.
i wish there is a way to rwmove status bar icon and app still runs in background, another strange thing i found is that even if i am.not running the app , it will still show battery drain or usage in battery stats

I agree but it looks like this is the only way to prevent the system from killing the app currently. If anyone else knows a way, please let me know.

About the battery drain, in the latest version I fixed a bug where if the app was killed and not exited with the back button it didn't turn everything off. It *should* be fixed now. Let me know if it's still happening in V2.18 or later.

i am on 2.18 and the battery bug is there, the app has great potential and i hope it will keep on improving

Are you using the free version or Pro?

I think I found what might cause an issue in the free version. I'll be putting out V2.19 pretty soon.

i never exit app normally, i just press the home button so it can run in background,, i feel that back button shouldn,t close the app

I mean when you want to stop using the app, how do you exit?

If it's sitting in the background all the time, it will use some battery since the sensor is active and if you have the wake lock turned on, the wake lock will prevent deep sleep.

For it to fully stop, it needs to be exited through the task manager app list or with the back button.

I recommend turing off the app before putting your phone in your pocket. Or, use Pocket Mode so if the screen is off, nothing will be triggered.

I'm thinking about an automatic Pocket Mode but not sure how it'll work in combination with the Hover gesture.
true but when a call comes in, the screen gets on automatically then sensing 2 waves while in my pocket or on my ear is something beyond my control

Ah, yeah I didn't think of that. I'll make it so Pocket Mode and Call Controls can't both be enabled.

Would it be possible to add phone mute/unmute? I'm not talking about the ringer, I mean the phone's microphone.
Yeah pretty sure I can. I think once I get the profiles feature in place I can make the in-call actions assignable and have mute/unmute as one of them.

Been a little under the weather so development is a bit behind where I want it to be.. but stay tuned.

That would help me a lot. I've got a finicky mic on my headset and I need to use the mute feature on the phone when I'm not talking.

Take care of yourself first so you can keep cranking out updates :)

V2.25 - Profiles!

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.
