Is it possible to connect a normal USB keyboard, non-wireless, non-bluetooth, just a normal keyboard with the s3?
Would be handy for typing longer emails etc.
Yes, it's possible. You just need a OTG cable.

Is it also possible to use both keyboard and mouse? I can use either with Otg cable but a usb multi plug stops either from working. Is it my cheap multi usb adaptor I wonder?

From the looks of this video it should be possible to connect multiple devices.
I just tried my powered USB hub. My keyboard, mouse, flash drive, printer and my gamepad were all recognized at the same time and worked perfectly.

So it looks like a powered multi usb hub is the only way.

I have a keyboard with a built-in usb port. I can plug my wireless mouse dongle in there and attach the keyboard to my phone without issues. But I guess the technology behind this is a small usb hub as you mentioned already so it's not exactly a new way of solving this.

I wonder what the smallest most portable mouse keyboard combo is?

Logitech has some nice keyboards and mice. If you buy the ones with the orange "Unify" logo, you can use a single Nano Receiver through OTG to use the keyboard and mouse afaik.
However you'll have to pair them on a Windows/Mac computer first.
Depending on how much you like software-hacking, here's a protocol description which probably could allow you to build your own Pairing app for Android

I have an issue with my usb connection it's showing that my phone is connected to a pc but its not and usb debugging is on also what can I do to fix this

It depends on what rom you are running. Some require that usb debugging be turned on others don't. I still have this problem here and there. I reboot with the usb cable plugged in wait for the media scanner to complete and it works great. Also once with setcpu I didn't change the charging drop down from a profile I made so when I was charging it was only running at 400 mhz. Just a cautionary tip.
Thanks for the tip I rebooted with the usb connected and it worked perfectly !!

I should be getting my lapdock soon and I set up dual boot so I can have a ROM dedicated for use with the dock. I was wondering if there was a way that I could get the reboot script to run when HDMI was connected. Android doesn't seem to have udev rules so is there another way to do it?

first thing I can think is to use Tasker but I don't know if there is hdmi options..
see if this can help
Yeah from what it looks like there is that that there's nothing triggered by connecting HDMI. I wonder if I could trigger it on the keyboard connection though.

Just wanted to bump this to see if they're is a way to fix the issue. After testing many times I can't set the navigation or Netflix while connected to the mhl adapter and moving in the car. But as soon as I unplug the adapter both load.

Yes, you can(according to what I've seen) . I saw my friend using 2-3 items at the same time and I think it's possible for more.
