There is a part of my screen that the s-pen just jumps over. I can't start writing in this section the cursor will just move to the right. It's really wierd.
I've attached a picture to try to portrait what it's doing but I can confirm that it's not just action memo it's just this certain portion of the phone which is the left side from top to bottom.
I've highlighted the area. Anyone else having problems like this?

No. Fine over here.

Mine will skip, like when an ink pen runs into a grease spot but starts again when you go back.

Try removing the case if you've got one with a magnet.
Have no issue with mine slowly drawing diagonal straight lines down both sides.
I have experience something similar. When I open up the S note and use the idea sketch, when I start to color inside the lines after moving the S pen around it brings up the idea sketch menus which that tends to move the picture around and it messes up my sketch that I went over. Very annoying. I have other issues besides with S pen. Dam unexpected error messages keeps popping up even after a hard reset on the phone. Going to call up Verizon tomorrow for a replacement..

I have multiple horizontal lines mostly on bottom of my fascinate. Sometimes gets worse sometimes better.. Went back to stock and will not go away. Screen going bad?

Time for a replacement
I have found threads and info about how it works on the Note 2, about magnets in the stylus but how does it know when your finger is hovering over the S4 screen?
Anyone know?
I have the same question.

The one at the top of the phone?
So it sort of senses downwards as well as infront of itself?

No.
It's the same old touchscreen controller technology just much more sensitive.

I'm just curious.
What are stock apps that able to utilize this function. I only notice this when I use Flipboard.

I read somewhere that it was indeed the sensor at the top, mixed with the old technology too.
The apps I know it works with are stock email, stock texts and flipboard. Not sure what else. It doesn't even seem to work on lockscreen...

How to use the air view on Stock text? I thought it can show the contents of text from text overview display. But when I tried, nothing shown.

Samsung is using a super sensitive capacitative touchscreen that can sense your finger even when its a short distance from the screen, essentially. its the same reason that there's an option so that you can use it with gloves on
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I'm no engineer, but this is my basic understanding gleaned from reading wikipedia and other sources. Capacitive touchscreens work by sensing changes in an electrostatic field. Your finger is an electrical conductor, which distorts the field. In normal phones the field is calibrated to extend just past the surface of the touchscreen. The S4's electrostatic field is simply overcalibrated to sense your finger from a distance, and it's also why it works with gloves on.

nothing to do with the capacitive screen or proximity sensor. if the screen was THAT sensitive it'll be firing off to even the slightest atmospheric disturbance. actual workings are related to the 2 IR sensors flanking the speaker grill which individually log IR intensities emitted by ur finger in front of the screen. an algorithm then compares these values and works out where ur finger is pointing.
AFAIK it works with help of IR Sensor and/with Proximity Sensor
If screen sensitivity does this job then ...Nokia Lumia 920 to 520 all devices all should have this feature cuz all these devices have Super Sensitive screens

The air is much more inert than your finger. The proximity/IR sensors just blast IR beams away from the phone for things like Air Gestures and have nothing to do with Air View. They certainly don't shoot beams across the surface of the screen to detect your finger. The finger hovering simply uses a more sensitive capacitive touchscreen, as Sony explains here:

This happened with me also.
The air view works in stock messaging app , gallery , flipboard and even when you dial a number if you have speed dial feeded.
For this you need to hold air view option in notification bar for about 2 seconds then a set of options will open. There you can switch on air view for messaging, gallery etc etc.

It will be the electromagnetic field that the screen is detecting from your skin/finger. The same way that on other screens, they don't work with gloves unless you have the special gloves that have conductive fingertips on them.
Nothing to do with the sensors on the top of the phone cos if you cover them up, air view still works! Plus the sensors aim out the top and at 90 degrees to the phone face, how would they sense something almost touching the screen on the bottom?

If you are one of few people with a nexus 4 where the very left centimeter of the screen (top to bottom) does not respond, you need to RMA. At first it wasn't a big deal to me, but after using swype from the playstore, the letter Q was unusable. I thought it was just a screen alignment issue, but it is an issue with the phone itself. It can be shown using pointer touches in developer options. This is a picture of how far I was able to go to the left edge before response quit. This video shows what the issue is compared to a regular nexus 4.

That's awful and would drive me nuts! I know with PA I lose a few pixels because of Pie. But that can be turned off. Yours would make some things impossible.... Like typing words with q in

Why?
I mean... sometimes it response on two knocks and sometimes i need four or more....
Have you seen the same ?
Yep, it's pretty normal.
I assume with it being a new feature it's not properly optimized properly if thats right word for it.
If LG get their ass into gear we may see a fix for it. And I mean IF.
No, but i have noticed a trick with it. If you put your hand over the top area of the screen, and then try to knock on. It will not work no matter what until you move your hand. I believe it is a sensor.

Try slow double tap or fast triple tap, it goes better for me
Try it at center of your screen
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I feel if you "face" the device and tap it works all the time.
I have noticed the same thing across the top bar. I thought it was the camera controlling it, but it is just that my finger was barely on the screen itself. So far a great feature!!

Yes the feature is one of the reasons I bought the G2. I'm always thinking I'm going to wear out the power button. LoL

tapping at the top of the screen where the status/notification bar would be works 100% of the time. at least for me.
I knock 3x. Works all the time
Thanks for the double at the top of the screen hint - works great now
What's worse is accidentally switching on the screen by simply handling the phone and it recognizing your "handling" as knock ons.
Yes, the proximity sensor will keep it from working. Since i have been more aware of this it works much better. Even if i have the phone in landscape and have my thumb on the slightest edge of the screen it will not work. U dont have to be over it. Just close will keep it from working.

It's intentional, it's telling you it's the end and you can't scroll anymore.

The pen triggers the air scroll
You can scroll in most places by hovering the pen near the border of the screen in the direction desired.
It's always been the case, maybe it's more pronounced now - or maybe you had air scroll disabled.
