I have tried to make it happen by performing the task that usually was a dead ringer for casuing it, streaming a heavy flash based online video. And in the couple days I've had the replacement, it hasn't happened yet. But I have to admit that obviously isn't a valid test so far. My first EVO was one of the original release units back in June, and I honestly didn't see the problem with that one until I had it about four months. But I will say that every post I have seen so far on various sites, where people have had their phones replaced for this problem, have indicated that it seemed to fix it. The problem is that they give you a refurb and thats kind of a crap shoot in itself. I had to go back to the store and have my replacement replaced within 24hrs because the home button went dark and the menu button next to it dimmed to about half. I really didn't want to get a refurb and tried everything I could to resovle it before giving in, but I did everything including un-rooting, flashing the stock ROM, fresh booting with no SDCard and without connecting to any email accounts or installing any applications, and going immediately online and playing a video, only to have it happen anyway. At that point I was sure it was hardware and bit the bullet. Good luck with yours, let me know if you need any further info.
