That really really is not possible. You can drop from a FULL_WAKE_LOCK
to a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK easily enough, but then you will not receive
any user input ("touches the screen or button") once you are on the
PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK.

It's not. It's trying to get user input that is your problem. Please
allow the user to simply use the power button, like the user is
already used to, and your problem becomes much simpler.
