So I have mounted my N7 2013 LTE in my car and was looking to add a bit of haptic control with a BT keyboard. I would like to be able to switch between Spotify, Maps, Voice Search, Home, etc very quickly and easily.
Problem is, when I connect a BT keyboard, it only works inside of text fields. I need universal access to these key commands to fire off tasks in Tasker to accomplish my goal. I am fully rooted.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Having a bit of trouble with Vlingo in car mode. When I pair it with my bluetooth interface in my car, the phone function works fine, but the text and tap and speak functions keep waiting for my voice to come through BT (I guess) instead of the phone's microphone, which is how the BT in our VW and our Toyota work. Is there a setting I'm missing or a workaround? Thanks.
I got a universal Car Dock and I am trying to do everything hands-free but I am having issues:
1. I am using VLingo and when I get a call, I have to physically answer the call instead of being able to use my voice.
2. When I answer a call it does not automatically go into speakerphone mode, so I have to physically switch it.
3. When navigating to an address, VLingo voice commands no longer work, unless I manually switch.
What I would like, and I don't know if there is something out there that could help:
1. I want to use my voice to do everything from answering calls, navigating, playing music, etc.
2. When in other apps, I still would like voice commands to still work.
If anyone has any insight, or how I can configure things it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I dunno about 100% voice control, but I recently started using a car dock too and hate the default Vlingo car app/mode. I downloaded CarHome Ultra from the market and tested for free. It can automatically disable wifi, enable bloothtooth/connect to device, automatically launch when in the car dock, you can create shortcuts to any apps. I think all voice control would be nice, but I haven't found any that were reliable
My question: When I use the Bluetooth keyboard I still get the onscreen keyboard popping up, is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Loving the GS3 so far, was able to connect natively a white Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and a compact bluetooth keyboard and both work pretty decent, although keys on keyboard are mapped to work with an ipad, looking for a better keyboard, but just used the one I had to test with.
I'm testing a complete "geek out" senario here, I manage a few websites for where I work, and I have the cisco VPN app and I'm able to connect to my work network, and both rdp and vnc into my pc and imac, it's cool esp if something needs to be updated in a pinch.
My only gripe is that the software keyboard takes up the whole MF'n screen in landscape view, I'd like to prevent that if possible when using a hardware keyboard.
On my epic 4G, the slide out keyboard disabled the onscreen from popping up, can I do something similar?
I've noticed that in my truck, I am unable to answer my phone using the button on my steering wheel when my Moto 360 is connected to the phone. I can use the controls to make phone calls but unless I dismiss the notification on the watch, I can't answer calls. Is there some setting I need to enable to fix this? So far the only way I can answer is to mute the phone or turn off the watch's Bluetooth connection - neither is idea.
If I have to mute, has anyone found a tasker plug-in that will allow me to automate this? I haven't had much luck find a tasker plug in that will allow me to mute/unmute the phone programmatically. Quite a few of the plug-ins seem to allow me to use the phone to control some function on the phone via the watch, not control the watch via the phone.
I have a good wired headset, and I wish to be able to take calls without taking my smartphone out of the pocket. I need a device (preferably bluetooth-connected, but USB will also work for me) that has two buttons ("accept incoming call" and "reject incoming call/end ongoing call") and maybe a small screen that shows the caller ID (not mandatory; I could just install an app that reads the caller ID out loud). It should also work without needing to install any device-dependent software on my smartphone.
I don't need a fitness tracker (most of them can't control calls anyway, just show a notification) or a smart watch (a lot of them don't work at all without some exotic software on the smartphone) or a bluetooth headset (I already have a headset that I like) or a hands-free car toolkit (I don't need the device to have a microphone or a speaker).
I'm stumped. I don't even know how to search for such a device. Does it exist? Is there a special name for such a thing?
So this may not be the exact answer you are looking for but I am hoping it may guide in the right direction. I have this multi media remote that I use which I absolutely love:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL...&pd_rd_r=c4015904-fa45-11e8-bfeb-5beec295fed0
I always wanted the ability to be able to remap the control buttons or just a bare bones bluetooth remote with programmable buttons. I also have this other tool I use on my android called an External Keyboard Helper Pro that can be used to re-map keys to certain custom actions. I am going to try that with my Satechi sometime next week and see if I can configure it to accept/reject calls.
Hope this helps.
