I use a Plantronics wired headset for phone calls with my Droid X, which works great. When trying to shoot video, while this headset is plugged in, the Droid insists on getting the audio from the onboard mic(s). The headset mic seems to be disabled while in video mode.
So I assume from this test that an external mic scenario for video just isn't going to work. Unless maybe a software change can allow selection of audio source.
The A855 uses the switcheasy thumbtack mic for all sound input when its plugged in; including when recording or streaming video. I wonder if its a difference between the A855 and the X or a difference between the microphones?
But the thumbtack mic is really just the size of a thumb. Anything bigger and better like iRig Mic ? Gives me hope that this one might work even though it is also designed for iphone. Please help.
