Always on display

[dt81]

How do I turn the always on display on the tablet? I want to use it as my clock while I'm sleeping.

Unfortunately the S3 has no AOD functionality (simply not functional with a big screen). You CAN have a screensaver feature, but this only kicks in when you're charging. However, the stock options don't include a clock, just colors, flipboard, and gallery options (both from local device and from Photos).

I think you're gonna have to find a 3rd party app for this one.

Actually why not functional with big screen? Will be nice to have it

AOD is to keep you from turning on the device to check notifications and have information at a glance. On a screen this large and where notifications aren't exactly your primary concern (this is, after all, not a phone), AOD just means more drain on an already power-hungry display. For the scenario you are using it in, however, I do see how it would be great. And that's where the 'screensaver' feature comes in, but I wish it was more feature-rich. I mean, no night clock? or always-on music album art? I'm guessing they're also concerned with screen burn-in, so whatever you use make sure that it moves around the screen.
