Try this screen test with your EVO and report back

It works for me.

This is happening on my Google I/O phone but no problems at all with the retail one. Could be an Android or HTC thing as I heard reports on the Hero, Incredible & now the EVO

ive noticed this with the top slidedown and only use of one finger when laying down on my bed.. have invisible shield on but did without as well... very odd feature and got mine from best buy on release day of the 4th.

Yea I noticed this the other night when the phone was laying flat on my bed.

Same issue here. Its only the notifications portion of the phone that will not operate at all for me if I dont have both hands on it

try it, but do it just a tad more slowly. If you place your finger up there, you'll see the curtain appear, then pull down.

I just noticed this yesterday. I kept trying to slide down the notification bar and couldn't do it (phone was laying down on the bed), I thought I wasn't touching it at the right place, then I pick it up and it works. Kind of bothers me a little since sometimes I just want to check what I have without picking it up.

this was reported before the evo even launched. It has to do with some kind of a grounding effect.

I have the same issue too. I've done it slowly, but sometimes the curtain won't even appear. Everywhere else on the screen works fine. I also did the battery trick but it did not help. Something else I noticed is that if the phone is locked, after I unlock it I can get the curtain to kind of flicker, but if I do other things and then try to roll down the curtain it hardly responds at all.

No issues here, EVO 4G, no screen protector, stock
