Such users often have absolutely no understanding of the functionality of the operating system. Often they don’t even know how to set a ringtone. Interestingly, in the early stages of Android development this was really very difficult, almost impossible. But now you can change the call in a couple of finger movements.
There are several ways to set a ringtone for a call on Android. The simplest one is to use a music player for this purpose. However, a third-party solution will not work! You need to launch the pre-installed player, which is usually called Music
».
1. Launch the application and select the song you want to set to ringtone.
2. Hold your finger on this song until the context menu appears.
3. Select " Use as ringtone"
" or "
Put on a call
".
Attention:
This method may not work on new smartphones. It all depends on the specific branded shell. In many of them, you can install music on a call only in other ways - the player is not suitable for these purposes.
Setting the melody through the “Settings” section
This method works on the vast majority of smartphones. In order to put a song on a call, you need to do the following:
1. Go to “ Settings”
».
2. Go to the “ Sound
Sounds and notifications
” section.
3. Here click on the item “ Ringtone”
"
It may also be called “ Phone ringtone
”, “
Ring tone
”, etc.
4. At this step, you may need to select an application with which to view your media library. ES Explorer file manager for this.
.
5. Select the song you want to use as a ringtone.
That's all! In the same way, you can set a melody for SMS on Android - in this case, you should be interested in the item “ Default notification melody”

Using the player
If you want to set not a standard melody to your phone as a ringtone, but a downloaded song, then the optimal way to perform the operation would be to access the built-in player of HTC Wildfire E. Of course, the same can be done through the settings, but in this case the search for the desired song will be difficult. To replace the sound signal, please refer to the instructions:
- Open the default Music app.
- Find the song you are interested in and open it.
- Click on the button that looks like three dots.
- Select the "Set to ring" option.
Third-party players also allow you to customize the ringtone at your discretion. But then you will have to make sure that you have given all the necessary permissions to the application in advance. For example, without access to contacts or files, a player from a third-party developer will block the ability to install the sound signal you like.
Using the Contacts app
At one time, even Symbian-based smartphones allowed you to set a specific melody for each contact. You can do this on Android as well. To do this, you must follow these instructions:
1. Go to the Contacts
».
2. Select the contact you are interested in.
3. Here you need to click the “ Change”
" It may look like a pencil or hide under the ellipsis located in the upper right corner.
4. Now you definitely need to click on the three dots. In the pop-up menu, click on “ Set ringtone”
».
5. Select the application that will be used to view the list of songs stored on the device.
6. Select the folder with MP3 songs, and then the song itself.
7. Save the result by clicking on the checkmark.
Note:
On some smartphones, the ringtone setting process may differ. Everything, again, depends on the branded shell - each manufacturer is sophisticated in its own way. Our example is given for “pure” Android installed on devices of the Nexus family.

The standard way to change the ringtone
This method is carried out through the general settings menu. Go to settings, then click on the “Sound” section, then click the “Ringtone” button.
A list of melodies that were installed by the manufacturer opens. Some smartphones and tablets allow you to set your own composition in the same menu. To do this, there is a “+” button at the top.
If there is no such button, we use a little trick. You will need to put the audio file in the desired folder with ringtones. After this, the composition will automatically appear in the general list in the sound settings described above.
To do this:
1.
We connect the phone using a USB cable to the computer. Click the “Start” button on your computer desktop and select “My Computer.” Next, you will see an icon for your connected mobile device. It needs to be opened.
2.
Find and open the “Media” folder. Next, click on the “Audio” folder located there, and already in it on “Ringtones”. The path to this folder will look something like this: \Media\Audio\Ringtones. This is where you should move the desired music file. If there are no folders with the same name on your device, you can look for where existing ringtones are stored on your mobile device. To do this, remember the name of any and enter it in the search bar. Select your mobile device as the object to search for the file. Having found a file with the name of this ringtone, we place our composition in the same folder where this file is stored.
3.
After placing the music file in “Ringtones”, we reboot the device.
After the completed actions, the composition appears in the general list of ring tones. Then everything is done according to the usual scenario. Go to the device settings, then to the “Sound” and “Ringtone” sections. The song you downloaded will be added to the standard sounds from the manufacturer. Click on it and confirm its installation as a call. This procedure will take you no more than 3 minutes.
how to put your own music on htc?
You can set your own ringtone through the Settings menu or using a music playing application.
In the first option, you need to open “Settings”, then select “Sound Profile”. In the window that appears, you will have access to 3-4 standard profiles, and the “Add” button, by clicking on which you can create an individual profile. By clicking on any of the existing profiles, you will enter its settings. Here you can set the volume level, mode, adjust the sound when pressing keys, screen lock sounds, turn vibration on or off and set ringtones. If your phone has two SIM cards, you will have access to two buttons, by clicking on which you can set individual ringtones for each of them. By clicking on one of these keys, you will see a list with available standard, preset melodies, and on the bottom panel there is an “Other” button. Click on “Other” and in the window that appears, select any of the available file managers. With its help, we go to the folder with our music and point the program to the file that we want to install on the call. After that, click save on the top panel, go to a higher level, and select this profile in the installation. Options for navigating through the menu may differ slightly depending on the version of the installed firmware.
To install your own melody using a music player, you need to open the desired file with it, then click “Options” and “Set as”. The name of the keys may be slightly changed depending on the player used.
You can also set individual ringtones for each subscriber. To do this, his contact must be saved in the phone memory. Open the contact settings and click “Melody”. Next, by analogy with setting up a profile, use the file manager to select the desired melody, and the last step is to save the contact settings.
You can also use applications from the Play Market service. They will allow you to change the sound design of your smartphone and make it truly unique. Here is a short list of those available:
- "Audiko Ringtones" from Audiko. This application has a large database of melodies and original sounds available for installation. There is a built-in manager for setting a specific part of a song as a ringtone. I would like to note the presence of your own hit parade, connection to your own account on the official website of the application.
- “Best Ringtones” from top apps online. An application with a convenient, intuitive interface and good functionality. All melodies from the program database are available in mp3 format. Among the tools, I would note the ability not only to set ringtones, but also to customize alarm tones and text messages. The app is available to download for free, but if you wish, you can disable advertising by paying a small fee.
- "Latest Ringtones " from Most Popular Ringtones. The program contains the best ringtones and their database is constantly updated. All melodies are sorted by genre. It is possible to fine-tune the download of new ringtones from the official website based on religious preferences and geotargeting. In it, everyone will find music to their liking and create their own unique sound style for their smartphone.
- "Cool ringtones" from familion.ru. An application for people with a sense of humor. It contains more than 300 cool melodies and sounds. For full operation, the program requires an Internet connection. Melodies can be sorted by rating, as well as in alphabetical order. The manufacturer also clarifies that if the melodies are only available for listening, you should reinstall the application.
This is just the beginning of the list of the most popular applications for installing unique ringtones on your smartphone, available for download from the Play Market service. To use this service you need a Google account. It is enough to register an email on “Gmail.com”, the address of which and the password for it must be entered in the “login” and “password” fields
First method: Setting a ringtone via the built-in player
We go to the music player - usually it is called “Music” or “Player”, in the case of custom firmware it can be a third-party player, which is the main one. CyanogenMod, for example, uses the Apollo player, while EMUI uses a player of its own design.
We find a list of all songs stored on the device and select the song that we want to set to the ringtone. Next, you need to long press on the desired song (or by calling up the menu in the player) to bring up the context menu and select “Put as ringtone”, or “Set as alarm” or “Use as ringtone”, etc. After this, we select which signal we want to set the melody to, if the program offers it. Ready!
Third method: Installing ringtone music through a file manager
We present this method for owners of devices with older versions of the OS, since in new versions of Android this function has been made systemic. Go to the menu of our device and open the file manager. In almost all cases it is called "Files", "File Manager" or "My Files". If you wish, you can use a third-party file manager. For example, ASTRO File Manager or ES file manager - most of them support similar functionality.
We go to the folder with music, select the track we are interested in and click on it, holding it for a few seconds, we will see an additional menu in which you need to select the item “Use as a signal” or something similar in meaning. If this item is missing, you need to click on the ellipsis, which opens an expanded list of options.
