Sleep Wake-up with every button

On my Tilt, EVERY BUTTON [except left, right, up, down, and select] will cause it to WAKE-UP from sleep mode.
How can I prevent this???
I would like just the OK button to wake up my device.
Thank you

I've never seen anything that allows this.. It's the four hard buttons (2 phone/win/ok) and power, or just the Power button.
It's in the Key Lock preference under System.
Personally I'd like it if I could do something like hit one of the four hard buttons and another button immediately after or it powers off. If I set it where all the hard buttons will turn it on I find it turned on every time I take it out of my horizontal pouch. But if it was set to some very simple key 'combination' it'd be easy to turn on myself (vs the tiny power button) but wouldn't stay on all the time in my pouch.
That is my point, either No buttons wake-up except the hard to get to power button or all buttons wake-up.
I there a registry hack that will allow the power button and one other button, maybe the OK button to wake the device up??

[REQ]Power button

Well, I don't actually want a power button to be honest, I want the power button action changed. I've lost count of the amount of times I have switched the phone off to go to bed and then accidentally touched the power button causing the phone to restart. Then I have to wait until it's booted-up before I can switch it off again. OK, I know I shouldn't drink so much that I become ham-fisted but in my defence, that brings its own - entirely unrelated - benefits.
What I want (knew I'd get there eventually) is to have to press the power button for like one second before the phone powers-up. I'm happy switching the screen on and off with a single short press, but if it already takes a long-press to switch it off, why can't it be a long press to switch it on? How hard can it be?

This will remap your power button on a long press and show you how to poweroff without it (see the comments there for the app)
I'm sorry but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
Visualise: The phone is off (not the screen, the PHONE), properly switched off. I want to have to press the power button for at least one second to start the phone up. From what I was reading on your link, the button presses are only recognised when the phone is already powered-up.
You don't want the button to switch the screen off too? Otherwise I don't get it.

Don't think that's possible. Btw, you could always shutdown the phone by taking out the battery No need to wait for it to boot.

[Q] disable long press power button in lockscreen?

Sometimes my phone reboots while I have it in my pocket because I accidentally press the power button for a few seconds and then somehow touch the screen so it reboots.
This happens while the screen is locked! It's still possible to press the power button a few seconds and shutdown/reboot/airplane mode/disable data.
Anyway to disable this feature?
I've found a few other threads, with this one the most promising: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302169. However, I changed the four *.kl files, but no luck.
Have you tried with a custom lockscreen or pin on screen? Maybe it helps instead of digging in the phone system...

Annoying power button location

Hi.
I've got the rog phone 2 button am getting really annoyed by accidently pressing the power button every time I pick the phone up.
The button is exactly in middle.
I pick the phone up from middle as its a good balancing point to stop it from falling.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Any fixes or remap to make you press combination of power and volume to power on/off?
Cheers
