Bluetooth Headset - action on button press - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
i am using a Plantronics M50 Bluetooth-Headset with my S3. It is working fine, with the exception of the Bluetooth-Button (long press) not doing anything. Short pressing starts and ends calls, while 2-pressing redials. But long pressing just does nothing, and as far is know some app should open.
I have used a Samsung BT-Headset before the Plantronics one, which i returned because it had the same behaviour.
I tried the app "Bluetooth Launcher" to force some action to the button, but it didn't work.
Am i just having bad luck with my BT-Headsets, or is the S3 lacking the function of this "Bluetooth-Button" ? I would like to start calls by voice through the Bluetooth-Headset or maybe open mp3player or whatever. Endless googling just tells that no one else seems to have this problem.....
Can anyone confirm that this functionality is present on S3, or does anyone maybe have an idea what i could do about this?
Thanks!
P.S: I'm on stock LFB

[Q] how to perform voice search on bluetooth headset on S3

or it be the infamous S-voice, anything will do.
I just wanna call people using my voice without having to even see the screen, I was able to do this with xperia devices. How to on the S3 ?
Many thanks.
On my bluetooth fm transmitter if I press the call button s voice opens up. If I long press the button it dials my last called person. But a short press of the call button opens it up and then I can say who I want to call.

Double clicking using a headphones

Does anyone else have a problem where they double click the button on their headphones and it calls the last person you talked to? After you hang up the call, then the music skips track.
I've tried with:
Zagg smartbuds
Apple earpods (My phone didn't explode!)
My stock galaxy nexus headphones
All do the same thing
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
thats what it normally does. it takes custom roms to reprogram that action.
This was driving me crazy too - I used the double-click to skip tracks all the time on my GNex, but since switching to the One I couldn't change tracks without taking my phone out of my pocket.
SOLUTION: JAYS Headset Control (Play Store)
This app lets you define custom actions for headset button clicks. Launch the app, go to Advanced > Settings and check the "HTC Redial Fix" at the bottom. Problem solved.
PS - I disabled all of the button clicks except for single and double (to pause/play and skip song). Everything else seemed to malfunction. Let me know if you guys figure all that out.

[Q] Default Headset play button on Galaxy S3 button does not always work

Hello all,
I've noticed on some apps if they are left playing for a time, such as spotify and Audible, despite the fact the playback is still going, when I press the play\pause button on my headset, nothing happens.
Has the application gone to sleep? or has the phone gone into standby and is not responding or.......?????
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know?

Not Getting VZW Voice Dialer on LG BT Headset

I picked up an HBS-730. It sounds good, the Call button works fine for picking up a call or last number redial (by two short presses of Call) but when I long press it I don't get the voice dialer (or any other voice app).
Is there a file in System that I need to edit or run? I do have the LG and Google voice components installed. I've also tried unpairing and repairing the headset.
On a long press I end up with a roughly half second "beep" in the headset.
Alternately, anyone know of an app that captures a BT Call longpress, that you can then assign an app to?
(It sounds like trapping a longpress is something done in a .jar file, not a case of just touching the .kl files)
Thanks!
Hmmm....
Check your BT volume.
Volume is fine on calls, and playing music.
Headset Mic also works fine on calls and for voice commands if I manually launch voice dialer or Google search.
It just seems that a long press of the Call button isn't properly launching voice dialer, that's why I'm looking for an apk or a setting to edit.

The LG voice dialer is bland, try this. I know it works.

I tried the VoiceCommand app from Play Store, unfortunately same problem. I don't get a voice ommand prompt, on either a single short press or a long press of the Call button on my BT headset.
A single short press does work to connect an incoming call, or disconnect, any a double short press does activate last number redial, so I believe my headset is overall working okay, but I am not hooking a voice command app at all. On a single short press nothing happens, and on a longpress I get a beep, but that is all.
Headset volume works fine, the mic works fine (if I manually launch VoiceCommand, whether the LG app or Google, it picks up fine), just that my phone isn't linking the Call button to launch any VoiceCommand app, on either a single press or a long press.
I disabled the lg voice command and use Google and it works for me

Did you ever get to the bottom of this as I am having the same issue. On my Xperia Z2 I can choose what I want to activate when I press the call button on my car kit but on the G3 it mutes my radio but never brings anything up on the phone.
I have also tested it with a different bluetooth kit and it still doesn't do anything so it is definitely a phone issue.
I froze some files and maybe froze something I shouldn't have, but factory resets are not doing any good for me as they seem to only partially reset my phone (Frozen apps still do not appear even after factory resetting and also flashing a totally new firmware!)
My G3 will not allow me to Voicedial and I was hoping someone with an operative G3 on their car kit could download a program called Clear Defaults or Default App Manager Lite and advise me what program they have as Default for Voice Dialing (I am not too sure what the heading is exactly as my G3 doesn't show it at all)
Clear Defaults

Default App Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&hl=en
I am trying to get troubleshoot this issue instead of returning it as I bought mine from eBay.
Is there actually someone who has the voice-dialing in his G3 working? I'm waiting also for a solution.
Voice dialing with Google works fine on the phone for me. Via Bluetooth in my car is also fine. nothing in default apps mentions voice dialing.
Oooooo, the voice dialer in the phone.... mine does not work either.
Does there happen anything when long-pressing the button in your car/on your Bluetooth headset?
Long pressing the button does nothing in the car or not.

Modify bluetooth headset button action (longpress)

Hi,
I have recently bought a BT headset for my motorcycle (Can't post links...it's called boblov intercom on amazon...1st result ).
What it does is, as expected, plays/pauses music if I press the button on the headset. If I longpress the button, it calls the last dialed number (who ever uses this...). I would like longpress to open google now (="OK Google") and start listening to me instead so I could control my phone with voice while riding.
I've made some bluetooth logs and ran then through one of the random log analysers I found online.
My question is...is it possible to modify the command the phone receives from the headset (most apps i tried only deal with the short-press actions...and this action seems hardcoded into the headset).
I have attached a screenshot of the translated log.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Up !
Do you find any solutions ?
Having the exact same idea, hoping you got something !
