Assign power button to wake up screen only

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

[All Carriers] Disable Wake with Home Button?

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.

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

Freeze on Screen Lock

Anyone else have this (I have the Korean SK model, E210S), sometimes it just freezes on the screen lock. Touch screen unresponsive, holding down the power button gets me the menu and then it seems to work. Just tapping the power button (to turn off the screen) doesn't work, home button doesn't work, etc. Never need to reboot, but it is irritating.

Waking with power button causes restart....

so just as the title says every time I try to use the power button to wake the phone the screen flickers on for an instant then it restarts. I can double tap to turn on just fine and fingerprint scanner works, just using the power button and other than that it works great. It will always shut down if I wake it with the power button after the screen times out but if i use the power button to shut the screen off sometimes it will work to wake it just fine.
