Might be an ad. Download 'air push detector' from the play store and run it.

I think you are seeing the "smart stay" feature in action.
This is activated when you are facing the screen but not giving the phone any input when the timeout would normally shut the screen off.
It's in settings » display »

Can you post a screen shot?

Its smart detector.
It will detect your face when it is just in front of your phone's front camera.

It is in fact the smart stay icon. It only turns off if the front facing camera can't detect your eyes/face. Generally held ~1-2ft from your face in decent lighting is good.

I can do it if I hit the power button to reactivate the screen but it takes so long -from the time I say bye to when the phone call actually ends, which makes for feeble attempts at angrily yelling at significant others then hanging up on them. Not that I'm doing that but the option would be nice. Besides it's just too difficult to just hang up the phone. Help?

lol... that's an "interesting" reason to get a feature for fast hangups haha
and you have significant "others"
Anyway I think this is just a 'feature' of the phone app. At least on the stock phone app, I have the same issue... Call ending on speakerphone is really slow but I don't think it's something anyone can do about it, short of using a new app

But screen wont turn off if that is enabled. It only dims and might as well hit the end button on screen since its lit.

Put your Gnote2 screen off, place it on the table screen facing the top.
Wave your hand over the front camera & sensors.

Profit
Not hidden at all, that's 'Quick View' which is an option in the Motion settings. But you're not the first to get excited and post about it here as if you've found the Holy Grail.
this has been posted a few times already

It's really delayed. Just swipe quickly and after a few secs it will show. The proximity sensor triggers it as it is lit up red when my phone screen is turned off.

I stumbled across a cool little feature while the screen is off. Cover the light and proximity sensors for several seconds and the top half of the screen will emit an aqua blue aura that displays missed calls, messages, and battery. I know this feature is somewhat useless, just thought I'll do some digging after it accidentally popped up on me while handling the phone.
Edit: Cool, I didn't realize it was the Quick Glance feature. Thought I was going crazy when I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.
Hmm I do not see that
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Doesn't happen here, either. Is this some kind of buried setting?
I could see this being useful if it could detect your phone is in your pocket, and when you pull it out, it would show that information.
It's in settings - motion - quick glance.
Then if you scroll down while still in motion to advanced settings there are more options for it in there.

Yeah I found it, very neat. I turned it on, I'll see if I continue to like it or if I find it annoying.I turned on a few more motion features. Why not try them?
The phone must also be laying flat (like on the table for example) otherwise it doesn't work.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be too reliable plus the info goes away too fast for me

Does turning this on have and detrimental effects on battery life? Does it get activated accidentally in your pocket?
Love it. Wish it was faster, though. My screen turn on lag is not good

I noticed you can press the touch keys in those few seconds while the screen lights up and it will make the drip sound... little annoying in the middle of the night.

Don't think it would do much damage to the 3100mAh battery. I'm still getting over a day's use, at least 6 hours of screen on with the quick glance feature on. According to others, it only triggers if the phone has been laying on a flat surface. So I think it'll be just fine in our pockets.
I have the Samsung Flip Cover on my GN2. I would like to have the screen turn off whenever I close the cover. Is there a setting or app that does this?
Thanks.
Ah just found this. Will see if it works
Pseudo-Smart Cover - Cover turns screen off when closed.

** Of the Market Apps available, Screen Standby seems to work the best for me.
I've been using Intellicover for this very purpose and it works great. Once you have it set up. The whole idea is annoying for when you accidentally slide over the proximity sensor and your screen goes dark.
But on the plus side, I can now "magically" turn my phone on by waving my hand over it!

Yeah it can be a pain in the butt, especially when writing notes and you keep turning the screen off. I eventually decided to just push the power button before I close the front cover.

I found "case sensor for tablets" in play when I had my tab. It should work. It might also be paid? Cool thing about it was you can set a timer so it turns off say 3 seconds after closed vs if you accidentally cover it.

I use "proximity screen off" it works great and has lots of options, Like delay so you won't accidently turn off. And an excluded apps list so you can turn it off in certain apps only.there is a Free version too. I donated its a great app.

Why when I press dial the screen turns off right away? The screen should only turn off when I put it next to my ear. It's very annoying when I'm dialing automated systems and need to use the keypad because if I manually turn the screen back on and then put it next to my ear to talk the screen doesn't turn off and I end up accidentally pushing buttons.
On an iphone the screen remains on and only turns of when put next to my ear, and turns right back on when pulled away from an ear. Is there a way to duplicate this behavior on GS4?
Go to settings/My device/call settings and select turn off screen during calls. That should do it.

Thanks, the screen doesn't turn off anymore but it also stays on when I put it next to my ear... I don't get why Samsung can't get a basic function like that right.

In your original post you forgot to let us know what exact rom you are using.
It would be very helpful to know that and other specifics before offering any suggestions.
Good luck!
Well, I tried this on a stock rom with the same result. Are you saying it works for you?

Download an app from the android market (its free) called AndroSensor and see if that app is saying the proximity sensor is blocked. You might have a spec of dirt causing it to always return that its blocked. Read other threads with same issue, and in the one thread, the guy at T-Mobile took a can of compressed air and blasted out the earpiece and it fixed it.
I downloaded the app and proximity sensor does not show any reading all the other functions have a graph next to them but not the sensor. Does this mean it's broken? And if it is broken does tmobile exchange the phone or do I have to send it back to Samsung?

It's definitely a hardware issue which should be covered. You just gotta make sure you get it back to stock and reset your counter with triangle away.

Agreed. Definitely hardware. Your sensor is reporting that the sensor is never covered and always open. Use that app and a test call to show the Rep at T-Mobile.
