When I have my phone in my pocket, I find that it often wakes up and drains the battery because the power button gets pressed with it moving around. Can we disable this and have ONLY the home button wake the device?

Try Villain Rom. Once you've installed, there are tweaks to prevent either the home or power buttons from waking the phone. That's the only way I know at the moment:

is anyone having issues with waking up this phone? Randomly to get the screen back on I will have to press the power button about four times for the screen to come back on. its really starting to bug

press harder. I learned quickly that it takes a firm push and you have to hit the button w/o your fingers getting caught up on the sides of the phone.
it's either that or you got a bad button
I have the same issue, this along with the lag I get at times when I attempt to use the camera has me seriously considering returning this phone. The Inspired I returned had non of these issues just a tinny speaker.

Mine wouldnt go to sleep today when pushing the button. Seems to be a few bugs with this phone eh?
I'm starting to look at re-mapping the keyword to allow the volume keys to wake it up, and then use the fingerprint reader to unlock it. That power button seems to fragile to me. To turn the screen off I just use Extended Controls.
Any thoughts?
Widget locker has an option to use the vol buttons for wake
I kinda have the same problem but its when i press the lock button the screen shuts off but then comes right back on. I press it again, it shuts off, then comes right back on.
I had the same problem - power button wouldn't wake phone from sleep.
I had to do a battery pull to resolve the issue.
I'm using the lastest FW.
Motorola phones (Not just Atrix, but Droid X also) have some funky business that sometimes prevents/delays the screen from turning on, even if the button press is registered. This happens with the power button and also the volume buttons if they're used to wake the device (Like with WidgetLocker). I haven't been able to narrow it down, but I suspect it's related to (ab)use of PowerManager's preventScreenOn()

It sounds logic to me, because even editing the right keyboard file to add a wake_dropped to the volume down, it won't turn on the screen. I hate when they change things the way they do with this, the bootloader, etc.
Hello to all,
Is there a possibility to change the hardware button to wake up Miui? On this moment all of the hardware buttons wake up Miui, but I would like only the power button to have this function. This because of the unnecessary wake ups in my trousers.
Thanks.

Power button is known to have issues when you press it to many times! So i am trying to avoid the Power button...
I always wake up my phone with Windows Button which is good cause it is in the middle of the phone and not on the side. But that's just my opinion!
I find power button is extensively used during EVO operation. Each time I want to check the the screen, or after making a call, I have a press that small tiny little power button to light up the screen. I am not sure whether this button is the weakest part of EVO.
Are there any tricks to save the use of this button?

No crack here so looks like they fixed it.
For tricks. Get an app that will turn the screen off. Change the setting to keep the screen on longer so if you are reading something it won't turn off. Have someone call you so the screen turns on and you don't have to use the power button.
Might be a way to use the volume rocker to turn the screen on. Have not looked into that since I am not concerned about my power key not working.
Aosp roms have configurations that allow you to turn the screen on and off without using the power button. Plus theirs an app in the market called screen locker that allows you to shut the screen with the "search" soft key

At times (occasionally) I find myself pressing the wake button while my nexus 4 is on sleep at most 3 times in order for it to wake up.
Is anyone else facing the same problem?
By wake button, I assume you mean the hardware power button? If so, I've noticed that I need to press firmly on the center of the power button to guarantee waking up. If I push on the edge, it doesn't always work even if the button "clicks".
I haven't noticed any issues but I do have a bumper ($5 Poetic) and I can just slide my finger over with a little pressure and it responds. Not sure if it's hardware or like tengen said that you might not be hitting the middle, but there are quite a few ROMs out there that let you wake with the volume rocker as well, nice feature.
Well, title's pretty explanatory :b My power button has become mushy, and not at all tactile to press. Anyone else with the same feel? What to do?
Bought it on launch day..
Mine is very clicky. You could either try using a case that has a bump over the buttons to help make it feel more clicky, or try contacting support and see if you can get a replacement.
How many times have you pressed it more firmly than you should?
We all, tend to do that when we enter a lot in the recovery using the button method instead of the advance reboot option available in the developers' option.
Why exactly do you use that button?
(I suffered from the same behaviour on a Google Nexus 4)
I wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not impressed with the build quality of this phone and expect that the various buttons and ports will go bad for a lot of owners. I'm already having problems with the headphone jack and my phone is just 3 weeks old.
I rarely use the power button. Double tap home button to sleep and use the fingerprint or double tap to wake.
I sometimes accidentally press the power button, but that's about all the usage mine sees.

Rarely. There are options even for that. Can use an app if I really want to.
