Issue with scrolling up to view text messages

[laney33]

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem with the HTC Evo. My friend sent me a pretty long text, and when I went to scroll up to read it from the beginning it would bring me right back to the last text that was sent. This is really annoying!

Are you holding the phone, some do have grounding issues...

I'm holding the phone and mine is doing this also.

I was just having the same problem, then disabled 4G and Bluetooth, and I was able to scroll through the text messages without it coming back to the last one. Before I couldn't get past about 10 messages or so. I turned 4G and Bluetooth back on, and I was still able to scroll through text messages without it returning to the end. That would be a very strange fix if it really is what fixed it.

I haven't had a very long text message, but I do have a long conversation with one contact and I don't have a problem scrolling up or down from the start till the end.

When I used the stock app, I experienced the same thing. Very frustrating indeed. Try using one of the alternative SMS clients (chompSMS, Handcent, etc).
