Alright so I've been having some weird screen problems with my evo lately.
First: its been pretty laggy lately. I mean when I first got my evo this past july/august, it had crisp movements that did whatever my finger flicked in a split second. But now, when I go to unlock the phone, sometimes it takes a couple of flicks, or the lock bar slides down, then stays down in an almost frozen like state. I then have to press the power button to shut the screen off, then press it back on and repeat the unlocking process.
I also have an unlock pattern and sometimes despite drawing the pattern in correctly, it thinks that I touched other "pattern dots" and says that I entered an invalid passcode by turning red.
Also I've had problems with texting. Lately whenever I try to press the "a" button, it will either hit the q button or shift button. It's a really weird problem that happens on and off.
I've recalibrated the screen countless times on a flat surface and still nothing. I just took of my old screen protector and it seems to be doing better, but I still get some lag when flicking between home tabs.
My EVO is fully warranted by sprint so I'm debating on just having them replace it even though there isnt much wrong with it now, but to prevent problems from happening in the future like they have been.
Has anyone had to get their evo replaced by warranty? Does it cost extra money or do they just pull an evo out from the back of the store and give it to you?
Thanks for any help.

Oh well, I'm really not complaining considering that for the past 4 days I wasn't able to text. There wasn't any charge either. Gotta love sprint for their quick, easy and reliable action.
