No, it cannot. They are inactive until the screen is turned on. Your phone wouldn't be able to go into deep sleep if it was anticipating you touching soft keys.

what is the big deal to press either power or home botton to wake up screen....
Hard botton is always prefferable for unlocking the screen otherwise each accedental tap will make your phone awake and drain the battery to zero in your pocket itself...

With paranoid android you can turn on the onscreen buttons and some people actually prefere this, some even have remapped the home button to a soft key. All i'm saying is that some people do not like the feel on the home button.

why cant any of the devs make the back key, when you hold and press, the task manager appears. i think holding the main button dow will eventually mess the button up. at the moment when you hold and press the back key, nothing happens. whereas if you hold down the menu button you get google search thingy

When the CPU is in deep-sleep, none of them are awake. Actually the CPU sets itself a timer to wake up, check for work and go to sleep again.
(Not really different from what we do all day =) Only with the exception that it's not supposed to oversleep ^^ )
I'm not sure as for the hardware but there are 2 possible reasons for the CPU not waking up to softkeys:
- they might be polled (the CPU asks their status every X milliseconds) instead of interrupts (notify the CPU with very high priority about any changes) That would mean the CPU had to be awake for them to work which drains a lot of power
- Some interrupts are capable of waking up a deep-sleeping CPU , others aren't.

i don;t think that is really an issue, this has been the same on the S2 as well and it didn't mess up the button.

I am absolutely satisfied with this phone . BUT i have one problem . When i push the power buton it takes between 0.2 and 2 secound to appear the lock screen. What should i do to make it faster? Becouse the waiting is disappointing with this hardware ....
if u want instant on u will need all of you 4 cores to stay awaken at full speed at all time u still want it ?
it goes to power saving mode thats why it needs 2 secs to be awaken

It's right , but my old desire hd had about 0.5 sec to wake up . This is why i asked it .
It's a battery saving feature. You can turn off S-Voice on lockscreen from the S-Voice settings, or just completely disable the whole application like I did, and this speeds up the wake process a little bit.

Yes i have already done that . But this lag is really annoying . Mainly because its not always the same ammount . Sometimes it takes 3 secounds but sometimes its a half secound. I really dont know what to do...
If your USB cable is connected, it wakes up instantly, if not, there is a lag. This is a feature (!) of Samsung phones. We discussed it deeply on this thread in SGS2 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136223
Basically, it's epic failure by Samsung and there's no solution.
It can't be explained by saying phone needs to sleep, because HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola phones sleep too and none of them needs so long to wake up.
oh well in terms of when your actually using the phone, nothing compares to the speed and fluidity of Sammy phones. Isnt really an issue that it takes a second longer to wake up

Yes, but they also dont tend to have as good standby battery life on HTC, LG, Sony or Moto phones.
I'm not defending them completely but this is a design decision rather than a bug. That said, on the Galaxy Note it has been almost completely alleviated since the ICS upgrade.

I noticed it only recently after screwing around @ 1.8ghz that suddenly the phone is taking sometimes millisec or sometimes even 3 secs to go to lock screen and also ripple is slowed if immediately try to unlock. I thought maybe i messed up some part of hardware by o/cing it too much. Even my old LG O3D takes just a sec. ANyway glad to know it's a common thing and not my phone being fkd up.
I can't judge, I take several minutes to wake up.
Still waiting...

Thank you for all the answers!
Ive noticed this too, its frustrating, makes the phone feel laggy.
My S2 was running CM9 and that was sharp as hell, no messing about, is this something that will in time be fixed with a custom rom?
Is there a way to "re-calibrate" the screen or change the sensitivity?
I have found that when I need to press a button near the corner of the screen, (like on a friendstream widget to refresh), I usually have to press it several times or use my pinky.
I'm thinking either the "alignment" is off or the sensitivity needs to be tweaked (maybe my fingers are too big)
When I first started typing on the Inc 4G, I noticed that sometimes it seemed like it was missing letters I was typing. As I started using it more, I realized that my hand was barely touching the corner of the screen next to the recent apps button, since I was used to using a small phone, the original Incredible. However, once I realized I was doing that, I stopped doing it. I have to consciously make the decision to stop every time I notice myself doing it. I've only been using it for a couple days, but I'm doing it less now, so hopefully I'll stop completely soon. I don't understand why it thinks the corner of the screen should be touch sensitive, because it's almost a full centimeter away from the recent apps button.

interesting, I'll have to keep an eye on that.
but I'm trying to hit a small button on the top right corner of the screen.
I have the issue I mentioned before when I'm holding the phone in landscape mode with the capacitive buttons on the right, the base of my index finger where it meets my hand barely touches the screen about a centimeter above the recent apps button. I don't use the FriendStream widget, as I don't use social networks at all, but if the button is too small, it may be that your fingers are too big, but more likely you are touching the screen somewhere else. I only figured it out when I took my right hand away from the screen and was still typing with my left and the keys were working much easier for me.
Try taking the hand you're not using to press the button and put it on the bottom of the phone to hold it steady, then, using your other hand, only touch the screen where the refresh button is with your largest finger and see if it works. It may seem like really basic troubleshooting, but sometimes that's the way to go.
Failing that, try to go to Settings -> Language & keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced settings -> Calibration tool
It only lets you type in portrait mode, which is kinda dumb since most typing is done in landscape mode, at least for me. It would be nice to at least have an option to do it in landscape.
Anyway, I hope one of these solutions helps.

no this isn't true.
you don't have to press hard, you have to press in the correct spot...
this phone's display is tough to get used to.
prime example, trying to exit out of a single app in the stock task manager, is very tough, and always opens the app instead of hitting the x, it's annoying, but it's worth it, IMO
but here is a vid showing that I have zero difficulties going through the set-up.

Well, I was having difficulties using it. I don't have fat sausage fingers, and I even tried using my pinky finger and pressing directly on it and everything after the first dot just didn't work unless I pressed very hard on it. Now that I've used it once and calibrated it, it works much easier doing it again. Perhaps it was just that the factory default calibration for my phone is just that off.

From the reviews, it seems the power button is tough to hit, without completely changing your grip on the phone. I actually hated trying to hit the power button on the HTC one x. I assume this will be even tougher with the longer length. Are there any apps, to allow the volume rocker to power on the phone?

There is no doubt devs will implement a volume rocker wake toggle into roms in the near future.. but frankly I'm okay with the power btn, I have a Rezound with a button that's completely flush to the device xD It's annoying but the DNA looks like it has a little bit of "space" for u to hit it, aka it's not flush.
ah well.

Yes, the smart screen on app is fantastic, pull the phone out of your pocket or swipe your hand over the sensor and it wakes (to the unlock screen), put it back in your pocket (or leave the screen/flip the device to cover the prox sensor) and screen goes off!
Two days ago I received my One from T-Mobile. The auto sleeping/locking after inactivity feature is preventing me from using this device. Due to my severe physical disability (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), I am unable to push the power button to wake it up. I know this will drain the battery faster, but I have no other choice. Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.
Also, I cannot get Android Screencast to work like I did with my Sensation. The screen shows, but mouse/keyboard are nonfunctional.

Is it just the power button that causes you difficulty, or can you perhaps use one of the volume buttons? There may be apps that can change the functionality of the buttons and can be remapped to turn on the screen. Barring that, the screen turns on when power is applied to the USB, so maybe you could use that fact somehow.

The volume buttons aren't possible either. I'm not able to apply enough pressure to press down. Some days my mouse is even difficult. I am also not able to plug/unplug the USB. I appreciate the suggestions and welcome any input at all. If someone has specific questions about my exact limitations, to help figure out a solution, please private message me!
So you're looking for a way to never have your screen go off, is that right? And you can't press USB hard enough to insert? That means you'll be unable to charge a rapidly draining battery. That's not good. (Never sleep while plugged in seems like best option, to me)
If I can think of anything else, I'll come back.
Peace.

I'm thinking that you could have someone construct a large switch in the middle of the USB cable, which would turn the power on and off.

This is a good idea, however, I am not able to toggle a switch. What I am envisioning that you are referring to is something like a lamp that has the on off switch in the power cord instead of on the fixture. Is this what you mean?
Is there no way to edit the root to prevent the screen from automatically turning off when the device is idle? Also, any ideas on getting Android Screencast to accept mouse and keyboard input when connected to the PC via USB? From what I have read it is something to do with Jellybean.

I honestly thought you were trolling as well, good trick to know.
its to prevent accidental button combos while its in you pocket or bag. it uses the light and proximity sensors to determine if its in a pocket or bag
I about laughed, then I knew you know what you are talking about, so I went and did your suggestion, and lmao, it worked. I was going crazy in my dark dungeon of an office, then I saw the light. Thanks for that.
Aroma is not very stable. I personally use up and down keys instead of touch screen and it works much better. Also I try to not rush. Once you get to next screen, wait 2 to 5 seconds then use up and down and then power to select or push buttons. Works for me every time.
