Try this screen test with your EVO and report back

I seem to be experiencing what alot of droid incredible owners are experiencing.

If I put the phone on a table or bed and using only one hand/finger, try to roll down the notification panel, its very hard. it ends up selecting and activating something else on the screen. Once I hold the phone with the other hand, no problem.

I suspect it may be the same touch sensor grounding issue that droid incredible users are facing. Its not a big issue but once its on table or other non conductive surface, the touch sensitivity goes out the door. It registers lines drawn as dotted lines. I verified this with multitouch vis test and multitouch visualizer app from the market, as well as the magic marker app.

I'm unrooted, no atk, stock google I/O evo 4g.

Anyone else experiencing this?

No problem here. I tried it on my desk and bed.

I also noticed this. It seems entirely relegated to the very upper-most portion of the screen, where the notification panel is. The rest of the screen will register just fine for me. Holding it with my other hand or plugging it in via USB will eliminate this behavior. I'm using a stock retail evo.

I didn't think i was experiencing the problem as I tested it earlier, however this morning the taskbar would not drag down while laying on my bed. Touching the sides of the case solved this issue. I think we are fairly lucky it (seems) to be only the top portion of the screen? At the same time, how often are we not going to be holding the device and be poking at it?

One finger works fine for me. Even tried different surfaces.

I heard that the Evo 4G's from the I/O conference had some issues...I could be wrong though...

I/O phone here with none of these issues.

Is the OP using a screen protector as well?
