Go into your phones display settings and increase the screen time-out. Petit for 2 minutes for testing purposes and see if this has any effect on the slide-to-answer and upper notifications bar. Make sure your phone isn't plugged into the charger or Ian cable to pc when testing. (known to cause this problem randomly) also change the call ring tone, notifications tone. In the stock HTC text app main screen, press menu-settings and change the message alert tone there also. To whatever other than stock.

Process of elimination is what aiming at with this. Changing the screen time-out should have some effect on this. But this is not a solution obviously. My old 003 evoked that problem randomly. I'm thinking you need to request a revision 0004 hardware EVO which these bugs have been fixed. That's what I have now. No unresponsive screen for me anymore.
