Any way to do this? I always end up pressing the home button as I pull the phone out of my pocket. And unlike the power button, I can't press the home button again to turn the screen back off. Kinda sucks.

Get a case which "protects" home button. And I agree - physical home sux.
That's too bad. I don't like cases.

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
Does anyone else's power button and home button creak on the Galaxy S 3 when you don't press the respective buttons head on? It seems to me that when pressed on the side (for the home button) and the bottom (on the power button) it creaks occasionally. I absolutely love it, but sometimes it can get a bit bothersome, in my opinion. Just wondering if it is normal, or just my unit so I can exchange it? Thanks!
Is this possible? I just want it to not turn on the screen. I notice in my front pocket sitting down sometimes the power button gets pressed and turns on the screen. I would prefer the home button only cause it is flatter and more flush with the device. I am able to edit the home button to either wake or not wake the phone, but the power button wakes the phone even when I erase the fields in all the system/usr/keylayout files. There must be a backup file or something somewhere telling the power button to turn the screen on. I use WidgetLocker also.
Are you sure it's not the home button turning your screen on? Pretty common occurrence...

No. I have disabled that and will leave it disabled until I can figure out how to disable the power button.
i would like to see this as well, the power button is too easy to press accidentally. i tried editing the keylayout files but i couldnt get it to work either.... here's my ideal setup: the home button wakes the phone, the power button does nothing unless you long press it to bring up the power options menu. or press it while the screen is on to turn off screen.
I too have this problem.
The power button is easy to press when it's on my pocket and I even have a case on it. The case makes it a little harder to press but I can still hear the click of the button when so I know when it happens.
Hello everyone I'm experiencing a very strange issue. Whenever I press towards the top center of the screen sometimes my screen goes black as if I hit the power key and then when I press the home button it doesn't turn back on usually I have to press the power button once then one more time to get the screen to get back on. You have to squeeze or press down the screen firmly a little hard I'll be asleep its not normal to do that but regardless doing that makes my phone turn off and then not turn back on until I press the power key twice. The screen appears to be off and all black but the soft keys vibrate as if thescreen was on and use. Does anyone else have this type of problem when pressing down on the screen? Or has anyone else experienced this some other way and has some type of solution or should I exchange?

I don't have that issue I, only have like many users that little lag when waking the screen. The problem your describing sounds very abnormal. I would def. Check out an exchange option if you have it bro.
To use the power button I have to press it firmly and hold for a few seconds, which works tho sometimes causes phone to skip right thru power on to screen off, or the like. Can I fix this with a new power flex cable and/or power button assembly? Or is it just life and I should go on this way - it is not life threatening.
