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
Will work with any player that accepts headset (media button) controls
If the screen is off or another app is in focus, phone vibrates once on pause control and twice on resume controls
Practice your wave techniques by checking the "Last Action"
If you're getting another player responding to the commands, check if that app has the option to disable headset button controls
**IMPORTANT**
The sensor WILL behave differently on different phones. I don't have the resources to have a bunch of phones around to test on. If there is a problem with the app, please email me at marksthinktank@gmail.com and give me a chance to figure it out before leaving a bad review!
And… there is a chance this app may not be compatible with your phone.. sorry. I'll do my best to keep the compatibility list up to date so future users won't run into issues.
Preliminary 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
Developed on a Samsung Galaxy SIII
