Is it possible to program or access more Bluetooth commands?

When I had a crackberry and had it paired with my Bluetooth on my car I could hit a button on the module in my car and it would launch voice dialing on the berry. With an android phone it doesn't. I am wondering if there was a way or an app that could monitor for the button or give me the same Bluetooth config of the berry so I could gain that back.
I love hands free dialing and I've tried apps like vlingo but they seem too unusuable still.
Any suggestions here would be great!

You should check out tasker, it can pick up blue tooth commands and perform what you want.

Unfortunately that didn't work for me very well.
It seems like the button in question doesn't register on android at all.
Not sure if that's the 'fault' of the car's audio system or a weakness int he btooth apk.
Oh well.
Probably should just get a headset.

Bluetooth keyboard for S3 (with touch pad)

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth keyboard with touchpad for S3?
I never had something like this...so I am kinda confused which one to get...
I plan to use it together with the MHL adapter to the television set.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I never used any keyboard with my Android device...so I do not have any idea...how it suppose to work
If I connect the S3 to TV with the MHL connector and the TV+SGS3 about 3-5 meters away from me.... this means re-touching the screen is not comfortable.
This is the reason why I imagined that I would need the touch pad.
Do I really need the touchpad? (plan mainly for browsing, watching movies, youtube)

Actually every bluetooth keyboard should work. Search Amazon or ebay for "bluetooth keyboard with touchpad". Its important to buy a real bluetooth one and nothing with proprietary standards (like most logitech/advertised as "wireless")
Quick look in ebay: Rii Bluetooth Mini Wireless Keyboard With Touchpad More For PC Cool Fahioned aje 150819865177 for 30€

Thank you the quick reply.
I will take a look at it as soon I am back at home.
And...can this work too?

The S3 should work with any keyboard. Correct me if I'm wrong. You can get a USB adaptor if you want to use USB keyboards also.

I tried it with mouse+keyboard via USB and it works.
Unfortunately, I can not do that while connecting to MHL connector, if I understand it correctly.
I want to use it together with my TV which is connected with the MHL converter, this means the keyboard has to be via Bluetooth.
And, I am sitting about 3-5 meters away (I do not have long enough HDMI cable) from my SGS3 so I need a good bluetooth keyboard with working short cuts like home button, volume, etc. and also a touch pad to replace the mouse thing....I do not want to stand up every few seconds to operate the SGS3 directly on the phone.

Hmmm... the Rii keyboards are too small in my opinion.
Do all keyboards with touchpad really that small?
Any other options?
Thanks in advance

The one you posted looks bigger. There is an expensive one with standard keyboard size, the dinovo edge.
But as said before: basically any bluetooth keyboard will do the trick.

first off, you need a Bluetooth keyboard?? for what case?

Yes, I tried my old bluetooth keyboard and mouse (multiple pairing)...but using separated mouse and bluetooth while sitting on the couch, it is not really comfortable
Dinovo? wait I will check.
This one?

Looks good..for the price I will have to play with it around for several minutes before taking the decision of buying. From the price, it is still OK, but depends on the feel during try-out.
I will check it at stores near home before ordering from Amazon
I hope this is the correct one for me
Thanks

Nice! I saw it on youtube...it has docking for charging, etc.
I think will get the dinovo edge

I work with a microsoft bluetooth mouse 5000 and a chinese bluetooth kehboard.... work fine without problem (siyha kernel installed)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

I bought finally the Dinovo Edge

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the Dinovo edge uses a usb receiver so you wont be able to use it in conjuntion with MHL.

dinovo edge also works on standard BT, my bluetooth dongle broke and i'm currently just using another bt dongle on my htpc --> should work

No soft control buttons on SGS3 so be careful what keyboard you get!
Hi,
I've been using the cheapest bluetooth and mouse out there whilst I get the hang of the smartphone pc experience. I have noticed that since it is not a Galaxy Nexus, it is impossible to point the mouse to the home button, or bring up the settings (bottom left button). Back buttun is simple because it is just the Esc button on the keyboard. If your going to be sitting 3-5m away from your SGS3 then this will be a deal breaker I'm sure.
Does anyone know a work around for people who are in this situation (i.e. no shortcut keys to control buttons on SGS3 excluding back)?
Cheers,
Stui

Use "external keyboard helper pro" from the Google play store to assign any hardware key to an android action.
Just search Google play store

Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard + trackpad.
I bought the motorola bluetooth keyboard with trackpad since it has Android shortcuts. I just got it today and tried it for 10 minutes. I found the mouse extremely slow and unaccurate and the keyboard responded a little slow. Im looking for an app maybe so that I can calibrate and adjust the settings.
Also using the original Galaxy MHL/HDMI adapter (the 11 pin version) I got the Image on my TV but the resolution is bigger than the screen so I cant see the whole picture. If anyone knows how to set this up aswell I would appreciate it.
Thank you very much in advance!

Set the tv screen option to full pixel (named like this on my sony) maybe different on yours, to see the full screen.

I also have the Motorola bt kb w/ trackpad. The keyboard is great, but yeah, the mouse movement isnt' the gretest. You can increase the pointer speed inside of Settings -> Language and Input. It makes it more tolerable, but not great. Besides, I've found it a little tedious to use a mouse as most apps are made with just the touchscreen in mind.
Edit: this is the one: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Wireless-Keyboard-Trackpad-Packaging/dp/B006291K7A Woot has had it for $35 shipped recently

Bluetooth issues, logitech k810 and android mouse

Okay so I have a stock, white, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition (SM-600) 32GB version.
I also have a logitech keyboard (k810) and logitech android mouse (3.1+)
When i got the device, i paired my keyboard easily but it would disconnect every 15 seconds or so.
The mouse works somewhat better, however, still disconnects around every 1-2 minutes.
If they are both connected at the same time, both will disconnect every 15 seconds or so.
The tablet seems to get "buggy" and laggy often, if i pair and then unpair the keyboard, requiring a reboot to return to normal function.
On my note 3, my k810 keyboard, galaxy gear, and mouse were all connected along with allshare cast and worked perfectly with no issues for 10 minutes doing my school work.
Anyone have any issues or advice? Similar or different experiences?

Try this
Go to settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Hit menu button > Visibility Timeout > and change it to Never

Wait. That is just for pairing right? Worth a shot anyhow.

You'd think so but it doesnt seem to be the case.

Just discovered this!
I had the disconnecting BT keyboard issue (K810) until someone suggested playing audio thru a BT audio device. Streaming thru my earpiece, the keyboard STAYS CONNECTED until the streaming music stops. Que up a couple CDs worth of audio, the keyboard works great!

I am using the P600 with a K810 keyboard. I'm not sure if it is related to connection, but:
1) a definite problem with typing gibberish. Correct letter followed by a random letter. Tried it with bluetooth music streaming and that seemed to fix the issue.
2) When I use the S-Pen to insert at a certain spot in the text it starts typing vertically, with capitals, etc.
Now ... there are other times (like now) it works perfectly? I see it flash "US English" and "UK English" occasionally on the bottom. I did set bluetooth to always on - perhaps that makes the difference?
I generally like the P600 but the inability to use a common bluetooth keyboard greatly impacts how I can use the P600. Is Samsung listening?

[Q] Belkin Yourtype bluetooth keyboard

Greetings,
I just bought the Belkin Yourtype Bluetooth Keyboard and it pairs fine with my tablet but after about 5 seconds of typing it looks like I lose the connection as I no longer see any new text on the tablet while typing. If I keep typing I get a popup that says "Bluetooth keyboard connected" and I can resume typing for a few more characters.
The keyboard works fine on my Nexus 7, so is there a setting on the Sammy that I am missing, or is this an issue of bluetooth incompatibility?
Thanks,
Hackhound

It's a bluetooth bug. Pretty much any BT input device has this disconnect issue.
I was hoping this would be fixed with a software update, but I'm losing faith...

I have noticed this bug on my Note also. However, i feel it has something to do with the keyboard instead of my precious Note. I think it has something to do with the BT power management on the keyboard iteslf. I have tested with my wife's BT keyboard, which she has an Idea-pad with keyboard dock. I synced it with my Note 10.1 (2014 edition) just fine, and it says connected with NO issues, however on my brand new BT keyboard I purchased from Fry's, it has this stupid disconnecting issue.
My vote is with the BT keyboard, not out Notes.

I'm hoping it's a keyboard issue, not the Nexus. Unfortunately, I do not have another bluetooth keyboard to test this out.

I've had the same problem in several ROMs between my Minisuit keyboard and my Note 8. Connected and worked flawlessy with stock ROM. Now I'm on Carbonrom and it will pair but never connect. Works just fine with my plantronics headphones.
Looks like major flaws for all the ROMs that exist for Note 8.
The definition of LAME.
