For everyone with the screen grounding issue, I have good news. HTC has a fix that they're currently testing. I got this e-mail back from HTC today.
Hi letsgoflyers81,
I got your device today and tested it. There was definitely an issue with the top half of the screen. It was very noticeable when I put it on a fleece jacket and tried to drag down the notification bar.
I installed an updated version of the software and the symptom completely disappeared. I am pretty confident that the solution we are currently working to certify with Sprint will address this issue for you. I can?t give you a schedule for the new software as we are still working on getting it tested and approved but you should not have to wait very long.
I will follow up with you again when we know the launch schedule for the new software and also check in with you after the update launches to confirm that you feel the issue has been resolved.
Thanks again for your help with this issue.
Regards,
