The "OK" Button...

---

Okay guys. So I've successfully rooted the phone, removed bloatware, played with different ROMs, but this one stupid "OK" button is puzzling me.

WHAT DOES THE OKAY BUTTON DO????

It doesn't do what I expect it to do.. most of the time it does nothing. If I hold it down while texting it just highlights everything in red.

I've been wondering the same thing since day 1.

The best answer I can offer as of yet is "nothing"

The ok button is like hitting enter or a left mouse click in some cases. If you are scrolling through clickable links in the browser or the marketplace ok will click on the link and open it (you may have noticed enter or return doesn't do that). I imagine it also selects yes if a yes/no dialogue box comes up.

Not precisely. That would be what we expect of an "OK" button. Thx for replying.

Does anyone know exactly what this f*'in OK button does on the Droid2????????

The same thing as the center of the dpad did on the D1....

If you use the arrow keys to select something on screen, like an icon, link, or menu item. The ok button would do the same as tapping on it... you can even hold it on an item to get the same effect as long press.

Um......that is what it does.

I was wrong about it selecting yes in a yes/no box, I thought I had done that once.

But what it does do, is as I sad, and the poster above me said. It clicks on links or linkable type things (such as an app in the market).

The poster above me said the same thing, only in a better way. It is like the center of the dpad (or clicking the trackpad on other android phones). It is sort of like finger pressing what you are on without using the touch screen.
