GALAXY S3 PROBLEM
Problem: Smart Stay Doesn’t Work
http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/Morash00/Private%202/Threads%20Pictures/S3_zps5f13f1a3.jpg
The Smart stay feature is designed to ensure that the screen does not turn off when you are looking at it. You’ll find it in Settings > Display and you can tick to turn it on. You’ll see an eye icon pop up in the notification bar occasionally and the S3 will use the front-facing camera to check that you’re still looking at the screen. If you are looking at the screen, it stays on, if you aren’t then it dims and turns off. How often it checks depends on your Screen timeout setting. A lot of people find that this feature doesn’t work for them at all.

Solution:
Your face has to be well lit so the camera can see it. If you are in the dark or in shadow it simply won’t detect you and the screen will turn off. This feature is neat, but it doesn’t work well yet.
Workaround: Change your Screen timeout so that it doesn’t turn off so quickly.
