Normally the tablet tends to overheat over time so it's not a good idea. Why not just set the Screen Dim/Off/Fade from the default 30secs to 30mins or 10, I assume this would be good default as I don't think you will be stuck in one page for longer than 5-10mins.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take your advice.
Hey everyone,
I just got an AT&T pebble blue galaxy s3 to replace my Atrix 4g. Everything is great except the atrix had the ability for the screen to never time out and samsung seems to not have that feature. When I look at the screen timeout settings it goes from 15 seconds to 10 minutes but there is no "never time out" option. Any solution to this?
I commute about an hour to work and its annoying to have to tap the display every few songs so the screen stays on so I can swipe to the next song in spotify. The phone is not rooted but I'll root if necessary. It would also take a lot of convincing to get me to flash a new rom. Thanks.
I don't think the Samsung Galaxy S III has that option built-in, unfortunately, but it seems like this app can do pretty much what you want to do: http://www.appbrain.com/app/screen-on/gr.androiddev.ScreenOn
Try a program called Battery Booster avaliable from the market. Go into settings, click the little clock icon and click the never button. Your screen will stay on forever. There are other time settings as well. I use it. It's great.
install extended controls from market and add "always screen on toggle" to your homescreen. enable/disable it whenever you want

Note that you are in the wrong forum. This is for the international i9300, not the US-versions.
The App 'Keep Screen On' in the market does exactly what you are looking for.
All three of these apps are great, thanks so much everyone
Hi guys. Weird problem with my S3. Happened just after the last firmware update which added the notification bar brightness control. If I plug my S3 into the AC charger the screen auto off does not work. It will stay on even if the screen is locked. When the battery is fully charged, the screen comes on and does not go off as well. Screen shot of my system is included. It works fine on battery power.

Just a guess and I can't remember if this option exists on the stock firmware as I am running CM but in your settings go to development options and see if there is an option like "stay awake , screen will never sleep when charging" if there is try toggling it a few times and leave it un-ticked

Nope. No such option in Developer Options. I just charge the phone the moment I get home now and unplug it before I go to bed so that I don't end up with some screen burn-in from the AMOLED display.
Okay sorry I don't really know what to suggest then apart from backing up with kies then trying a factory reset always worked for me on stock.

Oh, would rather hate to do that, but if it works, I guess I'll give it a try. Not much really on my phone, just a bunch of pics and vids of the kids which I can easily back up. Well have a go when I get back home this evening.
Sorry I couldn't be of more use hope it works for you.
Factory reset will not fix the problem. I had the same problem when I updated the last time. Download "extended controls "from the play store and use the widget tha keeps screen on while charging to deactivate it.
Found the culprit. It was HD Widgets. It was the most recently updated app on my S3. Removed, restarted and it's okay now. I was using HDW for the BT toggle widget, went back to my trusty Extended Controls and used the EC widget and everything is fine now. Thanks all. Will email the developer and let them know of the problem.

I had the same problem, I also had Extended Controls but not HD Widgets, so I uninstalled Extended Controls, and it solved the problem

I don't have Extended Controls or HD Widgets.....and my screen stays on when fully charged. it wakes my husband up at night. any thoughts?
I think I may have found the problem....but i'm currently testing to see if it is or not.
I thought maybe it was "bedside" an app that silences stuff at night.
For me the problem was Smart stay feature under Settings/Display. Once I turned off that the device can turn off the display while charging. This feature used to work great for me with the 4.0.4 firmware that I was using. Once upgraded to 4.1 (H3G) the issue started.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Every time I plug in my earphones in my I9100, the screen wakes up. I have this issue on every Samsung JB ROM and this is very annoying for me. Is there a fix/mod/tweak to disable this?

no. this feature is inbuilt in software.
There isn't a Mod really as of yet, But you can try other ROMs such as Cyanogen mod 10.1 which has such options (removing the wake-up when plugging in) inbuilt into it.
Now let me finish my beer. :beer:

Hi guys,
In desperately looking for an app or mod that does what's in the subject.
I'd like to have my s3 screen on when i remove it from my pocket but ONLY if notifications are present.
This is a feature that some custom ROMs have (e.g. C-rom) but i wonder if i can get the same behaviour on my stock rooted s3.
I know that apps like "gravity screen" do something similar but in don't think they can turn on only inc ase of pending notifications.
Thank you for any advice.
