Screen on/off without power button

I've recently bought a Sony Xperia Tipo Dual, and one thing that is very unconfortable is to turn the screen on/off with the power button, as it's difficult to press with any finger.

I've tried with a couple of applications: Soft Power and Tap Tap, which help me in turning the screen off, but they don't turn the screen on by using the proximity sensor.

Is there a way for me to configure any of the three buttons at the bottom of the phone (back, home, settings) to turn the screen on? This would definitively improve the user experience.

Thanks,

Franco

not at all, those aren't hard keys, the Xperia Arc among other Xperias, you can use the Home button to turn on the screen but not with this phone.
