My droidx had a battery saver option that would turn of data after the phone was idle for a few minutes I want to say between 10pm - 7pm or something and once you unlocked the data would automatically turn back on. is there a setting like his on the S3 I can't find it.

No unless you just turn it off manually.

Use Tasker. There is an action that turns data on and off. Just tried it and yep, it turns all data off. Use that action with the "time" trigger. Now, the "idle" part you'll have to figure out yourself.

I guess what you can do is create a profile that's triggered on screen off and then have an if statement that checks if time is between midnight and morning. If it is, have a task wait 5 minutes until screen is turned on. If it turns on, cancel the task. Else, turn off the data after those 5 minutes.
