How to set ringtone on android?

Smartphones with the Android operating system provide their users with a wide range of tools to change various settings and phone parameters. We can change the wallpaper, color scheme, ringtone, screen saver, download any application you need, and more. In this article, we will tell you how to set a ringtone on Android for calls, alarm clocks and SMS notifications.

ringtone and sms

Before we start choosing a ringtone for your smartphone, download the ringtone you like on your phone. This can be done in three ways:

Using a USB cable, connect your phone to the computer, wait until the drivers are installed and click the "Enable USB storage" button. After that, your phone will appear in the explorer, and you can transfer any files you need to it.
With dedicated apps such as On Air or WebSharing, you can transfer files between your computer and smartphone using a wifi network.
In addition, we can download music from the Internet. To do this, you will need to download the appropriate application on Google Play.

Now you need to set up a sound profile. For this:

Go to "Menu" - "Settings".
Select the "Device" - "Sound profiles" section and select one of the proposed profiles or set your own.
In the settings of the selected profile, you can adjust the call volume, ring tone, video call tone, set a ringtone for Android SMS, and set other system sound parameters. To select your own melody, click "Ringtone" - "Other ringtones" and select the sound signal that you would like to use from the list that opens.

Another way is to set a ringtone as your phone ringtone.

Go to "Menu" - "Music".
Click on the ringtone you want to use as your ringtone.
Press it with your finger - a menu will appear in front of you. Select "As ringtone".

And another way to set a new SMS alert tone.

Open "Menu" - "SMS/MMS".
Click the button to open the context menu.
Select "Settings" - "Notifications".
In the menu that opens, set "Notification sound" in the appropriate item.

Melody for contact

To set a ringtone for a contact, follow these steps:

Select a contact from the phone book;
Go to the contact settings by clicking on the little man figure in the right half of the screen;
Call the menu by pressing the corresponding button or three dots in the right corner of the screen;
Click the "Set ringtone" button.

Alarm ringtone

To set a melody for an alarm clock on an android smartphone, you need to do the following steps:

Go to the standard application "Clock".
Open "Alarm Clock" in the lower left corner of the screen.
Click on the plus sign in the upper right corner - this will create a new alarm clock.
Set the alarm time.
At the bottom, under the specified time, a description of the alarm will appear in front of you.
Click on the name of the default melody marked with a note.
In the list of ringtones that opens, select your favorite.
If you want to set your own alarm melody, click on the line "Other ringtones" and select any of the sounds available on your smartphone.

As you can see, setting a ringtone, SMS or alarm on Android is no more difficult than on a regular phone. Do not be afraid to experiment and put different ringtones - be more original. Otherwise, you run the risk of flinching every time a neighbor on the bus plays the same standard ringtone that is on your phone.
