Anyway to TURN ON the screen after it auto off?

Hi!
Besides pressing the power button is there any utility to do so after the screen turns off after its set timing?
What about a software to assign a SCREENON utility to a hardware button?
Thanks
why?

RE
Because my power switch button is blocked by my hand pouch so I need to press a hardware button to turn on the screen after it auto turns off
under settings/buttons, the htc touch pro defaults to locking all keys except the power key - try unsetting the lock keys - it may make the other keys wake it up..

RE
I don't really get what you're saying
By default, except for the button for 'Today', the rest of the keys are assigned as 'Context Menu'
I tried to assign one button to a SCREENON utility but after a soft reset it returns back to 'Context Menu'. Apparaently, it's not sticking
BTW, how to get out of the Buttons screen? I need to soft reset to do so.
May be my SCREENON utility is the wrong one. What I need is a POWERON utility.
Thanks

locking & unlocking sceen without pressing power button

hi
i had a question re locking and unlocking the screen. At the moment i press power button to lock the screen. then to unlock i press power button to wake up the screen and then move the onscreen ring to unlock the phone.
My previous phone was xperia arc s and had three hard buttons on the bottom which i would press to wake up the screen. I quite miss that, especially for unlocking the phone.
any alternatives other than to always keep the screen awake!

"Screen off and lock" for turning it off. Works very good.
For turning it on I've seen a few apps that use the proximity sensor (i.e. put the phone with the screen against the table and it switches off, pick it up and it switches on). Not a great battery drain, but I don't know if leaving the proximity sensor always on could damage it...
Some ROMs have a setting for waking the screen with the volume rocker, and there are also a couple of kernels that have "sweep to wake". Thats where you sweep your finger across the soft keys at the bottom of the phone, from one side to the other. Other than those two thing thats about it for alternative ways to wake the screen.

How to turn on phone without powerbutton?

The only way I can turn on my Nexus 5 now is using adb and a computer. Is there a way to possibly turn on my phone on the road? Without the use of a computer?
You can remap with the Volume button.
Just double tap screen to wake
I didn't think the N5 had double-tap. My N6 needs an app, and be rooted, to do it.
Turning on the phone from sleep may be possible (double tap, magnetic screen case, remap button) but if it's been completely switched off...? How do you switch it on without a power button? The power button remap sounds feasible (how do you do that, by the way?) but then how do you change the volume?

Disable Home Button On Lock Screen?

Is there any way to disable the home button on the lock screen? I can make it not show up but pressing where it was still wakes the phone up.
Would also like to know this.
