I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!

Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research

More Info Here

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)

New

Control music on your PC using foobar2000 controller Pro-- Now compatible with Wave Control

amazing concept, using on sgs3 , wish you good luck
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
Not share why but when I try to go to the app in the market I get a force close of the market. It immediately closes once the install page comes up. I can go to any other app and open it to the install page and install the app.

Whoa.. that's a weird one. Maybe Google hates me??

Can you try install from a PC browser and see if it'll do the background install on the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
I will try it right now and let you know.

EDIT: I was able to download it from the browser version of the play store.

I am trying the free version for now. I really like the app so far. I do have one issue though and maybe the paid version fixes this. When I have it turned on but not in use per se, I start texting in landscape mode and it will toggle on/off the music constantly even when I am not planning on listening to music. I did look through the settings and only option I see that works is to have the app turned off while I am texting/or using the keyboard for anything like typing in this reply via xda app. Is it possible to implement a setting that IF the phone e is in landscape or IF the keyboard is in use that it overrides the app turn I g music on?

Again I am only using the free version right now for testing and will plan on using the paid app once I like the setup. Thanks and this is a great idea.

[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
I've had a request over email from a user for a mode where it only works when the screen is off. I think this would help a lot of these type issues.

I'll see if I can detect whether the keyboard is active in another app or not. That's a great idea.

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh and which version of the Play Store are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
Right now I have the Play Store from CM10 Version 3.7.15

[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Hmm. That's the same version I have on my stock SGSIII.

I wonder if it's a Jelly Bean thing. Someone in the Galaxy Nexus thread had the same issue. I have no idea why it would be a Jelly Bean thing though.
[Android Apps and Games] DangKid:
I've been using this app since April and have a pro copy of it because I loved how original the app was and how well it worked. I find it useful when I'm driving to change my songs. Great to see this finally land on XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Ok I think I got the Play Store FC thing figured out.

Try it now..

<crossing fingers>
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
Still doesn't work for me. I tried going to market and used the search bar for wave control. It finds it and I click on it and play store crashes. Again I went to other apps and can view them with no issues. I can update apps no issues. Next I wiped data for the play store, re-accepted once I reopened it, try to go to wave control and it still will force close.

I already have it from the browser version but wanted to test for you.

Great 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 :)

[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
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 first :)
[Android Apps and Games] ahzhang452:
Hmm, I love the idea of this, i went to get the pro version, but it does not work very well on the droid razr, screen on/off toggle does not work and hover is at a very close distance, anyway to increase sensor distance? Also, I got my friend's s3 camera to taka look at my phone, Why dont I see the infared light?

Nice! This gives me a smile in another crappy day, my fairly new & expensive pc hates me but atleast my phone works AND can use this cool feature :D Thanks!

Tablet use?

Anybody know of a tablet that has a proximity sensor? I'd love to do this with a tablet as a GPS/Music device in the car and have the GPS in the foreground, but still be able to control the Music easily. This program seems like it would fit that, but none of the tablets I've seen have a proximity sensor, and as such would not work.

As a side question, anybody know how to make GPS program and Pandora or other music program run side-by-side? Or GPS run with music controls side-by side? I

really

want to use a tablet as a car entertainment, but having to touch the screen to switch apps is a no-go for me.

Thanks!

Very good app :

But i don't know why the play store app FC when i try to install the app.... i must use the web play store.

And under PARANOIDANDROID 1.99 on nexus S the app FC when i try to use it. :/
[Android Apps and Games] stefanACM:
Am I wrong or you removed a lot good stufs from first release :)

Please can you re-add Recent app and Flash lite shortcut.

This is really nice app, I had plans to make something like this, but you did it and congrats!!!
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
I don't have any control over the sensor distance unfortunately. For the screen on/off toggle, are you running any other apps that might prevent a screen timeout?

Whether or not you see a light through a camera depends on a couple things, the wavelength of the particular sensor vendor uses in the IR LED, and the way, if any, the camera sensor aliases IR to visible spectrum. It's possible it gets filtered out.

I think the 7" Samsung's have a proximity sensor. It's the ones that the manufacturer envisioned people trying to use it as a phone.. which shouldn't have been any.. but yeah.. 7" Samsung's (actually saw someone at the mall doing this).. at least the previous generation. I'm not sure about the sequels.

Yeah that is a really weird bug in JB right now. It looks like it's formatting related based on the error it throws. I'll try again to adjust my info to hopefully prevent it.

Sorry.. but I think you are... I'm pretty sure I've only added features. I think it's bad form to take away features. Glad you like the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
Just bought the app no matter how much I use it. So far I like it and look forward to see where it goes from here. I will give feedback as I use it.

I did have to use a PC and go to the play store from a browser though. The paid version would force close the play store for me.

About Copywrite..

Hi! Your application is awsome.. its a complete new thing!

So.. I wanna ask whether I can put this application in-built in my custom rom obviously the free version..

Im not gonna distribute the rom in xda but in a small korean nexus forum.

I'll be waiting for your reply soon. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Sure, as long as it's the free version I don't have a problem with you including it in a rom.

Glad you like the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Can those on Jelly Bean try the Play Store again?

I trimmed down the description are and change log to hopefully fix the store bug.

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.
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Tasker 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.
[Android Apps and Games] m.klinge:
That sounds great :)

How about being able to activate/deactivate as well?

[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Any chance of getting it to support shortcuts? Would be great if I could wave to launch SoundHound's "ID Now", for example.

Getting forced closures when I try to open your Play Store listing on my LTE Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. uninstalling Wave Secure then reinstalling, but got the same problem. I tried clearing cache & data of both the Play Store and Google Services Framework, then rebooting the phone. The problem persists. It only happens with Wave Secure and Wave Secure Pro. I wasn't able to re-install the app from my phone, so I had to use the web Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Is it still crashing for you guys on Jelly Bean?
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
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.

Regards,

rc
[Android Apps and Games] Mersine:
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.
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
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?
[Android Apps and Games] HunnyBearLewis:
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:

[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
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.

V2.50 is out!

Just posted V2.50 to the Play Store

Changes:

-New 'Multitasker' actions: Toggle UI, Recent Apps and Cycle Apps

-Multitasker actions included in Pro or available as an Upgrade in free version

-Home action now works when other apps are in front

-Launch to Background works much better

-Auto Launch works much better

-Reorganized the Settings Tab a bit

-Polish Language added.. Thanks Marcin!

I really reworked the plumbing in the app so I hope I didn't break anything.

Check out the Recent Apps action, screen shot attached
[Android Apps and Games] Mersine:
Thanks Mark I'll try it out!
[Android Apps and Games] :
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.
[Android Apps and Games] Mersine:
I had this issue. Try restarting the target media app then choosing your music player again.
[Android Apps and Games] :
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?
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
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.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks! Reinstalling didn't work, but I will send you the sensor info. Hopefully it can be fixed, really love your app.
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
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!

[Android Apps and Games] Giot:
Picked up the free version and I am looking forward to integrating this with tasker and utter!

Quick question, can this support shortcuts/tasker tasks? I want to set it up so that if I am in my car, tasker will activate an "in car" wave control profile where I can wave at my phone to activate utter! and give it voice commands. Currently I have a shortcut set up on my CarHome Ultra page that I have to press.

On a side note, I have issues with trying to pull down the notifications tab on my GS4, it senses my finger and designates it as a "1 wave". I would switch the setting to "screen off only mode", but that would really defeat the purpose of the above tasker/utter!/wave control integration (i.e. my screen is always on when I am in the car, but utter! isn't always listening so I want to wave at it to activate instead of digging around for the button to make it listen).

Fantastic app though. I am definitely going to purchase it!

Installed the app today and love it!

What would make it even better (or more useful to me, at least ;) ):

Option to start on boot.

To go with it, option to start disabled (so it can later be enabled via Tasker).

(Enable/Disable button in notification entry, so the UI doesn't even have to be started.)

In any case, thanks for a great app!

s3 with a generic imei no. 004999010640000. its showing no service.

upon researching here, i found either the phone could be blocked (due to reported stolen) or messed up due to rom flashing.

Without a /efs backup you can't restore the IMEI.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
First thing is report it to local police to cover yourself, then if you have the original box and proof of purchase go to Samsung and explain what has happened ie. You lost your imei, and they can restore it, if the phone isn't stolen that is.

If you bought this phone in good faith, then also take steps to resolve it with eBay or however you bought it.

If however it was a cheap deal of a dodgy mate.....well you live and learn.

Today iÍ totaly bricked my Defy+ after unsuccessful installing CaynogenMod CMX 10 (it stuck on boot animation). After that I tried with CaynogenMod bootmenu to install again 2nd-boot and 2nd-init to boot to stock ROM. But after that I can just boot to stock recovery menu and Android bootmenu (by CM team). In this bootmenu from CM I can just to choose default bootloader. No other functionality works, everytime I choose for example: Recovery -> Custom recovery it appears this error message: No such file or directory...... So I moved to RDSlite, but my phone is not recognized by Windows or RDSLite. And battery is not charging, only blink white LED when is on computer USB. And battery is under 30%. Don't know what to do now...
