Does have anyone similar problem?
I figured out that my backlight goes ON very often while I carry my S740 in the pocket. It's because ANY key can turn on backlight while phone is locked up.
I don't really like this behaviour and would like to set it up somehow so only some key could light up backlight. Best solution for me would be:
Power button: Turn backlight instantly off and lock the keys (I have it set up this way already by AE Button)
Power button again: Turn backlight on and unlock the phone
However, I can't really find any good solution, and I guess it's not even possible.
Any ideas?

Tried to turn on my XDA yesteday and the button fell into the device ! This caused not to be able to turn on the screen unless I got a call. I downloaded Vito SystemTools' button maping program which allowed me to make my calendar button (when held down) to turn the screen on and off. The problem is that turning the screen on and off is not doing the same thing as the power button did. I was under the impression that all the power button did was turn the screen on and off to save battery and prevent unintended input. However, now my battery dies in 6-8 hours of use compared to the normal 2 days. Obviously, there is somthing more that the power button does.
What I'd like to know from the developers is if there is a program called by the power button and how I should access it. The button mapper program allows me to map any program I want to (almost) any hardware button (not the volume button). If it's a DLL or somthin I can probably write a wrapper program for it with some pointers.
I'm also in the market for a dummy xda or just another power button if someone has one just to get it to look better. However I like the functionality of holding down the calendar button for 1 second to turn the device on/off and would like to keep that permanently.

The power button is probably hard-wired to some processor wake-up logic. So when you turn the processor off, it's going to be very hard to make it wake up by anything else. You could write something that makes it wake up very very momentarily, say every few seconds, to check for a button-press. But my guess is what you want is a new power button.
damn Well i'm waiting on a dummy phone auction unless anyone over here has one to sell me.
I got exactly the same problem, the only difference is that i managed to get it back and i putted some silicone glue in it. It works and don't ask me how ;-)
Anyway, why don't you just press on the call - hang-up , calendar, volume button to wake the phone up?
Than just change the settings in battery power to make it shut down after 5min or 10min. It should help you reduce your battery life time since the phone gets automaticly in sleep mode after that time.
good luck,

I have my phone set not to wake up without the power button being pressed. I can turn this off but then buttons get pressed in my pocket since I don't like belt clip holders.
Our LG P500 can wake up screen with any key. It inconvenient for me when I just press any key: home, back, search, menu, the screen auto turn on.
So, are there any way to assign only power button for wake up?
when your phone is locked and you press any key, the screen only lights up for a few seconds. Even if you accidentally press home or search, nothing will happen until you unlock it? There's no reason to have a dedicated button just for waking up the screen.
It's a good idea to save more battery. But no solutions as of now.
Thanks, I'll try to find other solution
MIne turns off sometimes by itself
Is there a way to prevent the LED from turning on when its bright outside? I know that on the stock rom that their is a feature where it turns on and off automatically and is wondering if theres a feature/ mod for this.
You can set the light levels manually for the screen and the buttons when you have auto backlight on, but the button levels don't seem to have any effect. Not sure why, I'd also like to know the answer to this.
While I don't have an answer for this, it has been proved out the battery drain from the touch buttons being lit up is near negligible.
The touch button lights being on with bln, at least for the time being, doesn't cause battery drain, it's the process that turns them on for a notification that drains the battery.
So I guess that was a long way to say, why do you want them off?

Hi everyone.
I just wanted to ask if somebody knows a way to wake the phone (display) just with the home button? My display is often turned on by the power button unintentionally because i always cary my phone in my pocket. The home button on the other hand is well protected by the samsung flipcover i'm using. so, if there is a way, than i could save a lot of screen-on-time and therefore battery.
Hi, someone knows if exist a way to turn off the backlight with the hardware buttons, the gesture upon screen sometimes dont work on low light conditions.
