Keep screen on while charging??

[tsells]

Another newbie question (I really have searched but couldn't find an answer):

How do you keep the screen on while charging (not in a dock)?

what do you want to display on the screen?

what do you want to display on the screen?

I have an app called Bedside Mode which (when activated) shows a digital clock with a dark background while also setting the sound profile to silent. I would like the screen to stay on so that I can see the digital clock.
(With my previous BB, you would automatically get a clock on the screen while charging.)

EDIT: I found the answer to the app question. The Bedside Mode app has a setting called "always on" and that does keep the clock on while charging.

I use the Caffeine app. I have it set to turn on and keep on the screen whenever it is hooked up to the charger. I prefer this mode most of the time while charging. When I do not want it on like at bedtime it is a simple swipe down and toggle off. Overall I am quite happy with Caffeine and have had it now on my last 3 Android phones.

this app has an option to give you a toggle that will allow the screen to stay on when plugged in

The screen on the RAZR gets burned in if you leave it on to long. Maybe the same with the s3.

1. Open the settings
2. Click on About device
3. Click on Build number 7 times
4. Go back to settings screen and you will see Developer options. From here you can access the Stay Awake function again.

Every time I check that option it somehow unchecks itself.

The same thing happened to me with my sgs 1 and note 2, something toggles my screen on option in dev options.... PISSES ME THE F#&k OFF!! It resulted in screen burn on my sgs 1 and I suspect a spyware app (basically everything) is toggling the option... Way to ruin phones d#$ks....
