How to set a ringtone on HTC Windows Phone 8S
Modern mobile phones are becoming more and more functional: now it is not just a radio handset with which you can make calls wherever there are towers of your operator, but also a navigator, a stereo system, a computer with Internet access, a game console, a directory, Tamagotchi and much more.
On the other hand, this is not always for the better - the simplest functions of such smartphones for some reason become more and more confusing for the user year after year, and sometimes it becomes ridiculous - they cease to be accessible! As an example, let's try to set a ringtone on HTC Windows Phone 8S.

Making a new call
In order to set a ringtone, you will need a USB cable:
- We connect HTC Windows Phone 8S using a USB cable to the computer and wait until Windows recognizes it as a connected device.
- Open the phone disk using the Explorer program (or through My Computer, like a regular flash drive) and look for a folder with the self-explanatory name “Ringtones”.
- It is into this folder that you will need to copy the song you like, after which we close all folders and disconnect the cable in safe mode (to avoid data loss).
- Next, go into your phone and use the player to cut your favorite song to 29 seconds. Then save it to the same folder.
- Now you can set this melody as a ringtone: go to the “melody and sound” settings and change the ringtone to your personal signal.
In order for a melody to be successfully used as a ringtone, it must weigh less than 1 megabyte, be shorter than 30 seconds and be in a supported format.
You can download the finished melody to your phone not only via a USB cable, but also from the Internet (if you have a direct link to the melody).
In addition, if the cable is not at hand, but you have a card reader, you can remove the card from the phone, insert it into the computer, download the melody, then return the card to the phone and move the melody to the “Ringtones” folder using the phone’s file manager.
Complication of functionality
Unfortunately, modern phones are returning to the stage from which they seemed to have moved away forever along with brick phones: ringtones have again become ringtones, and music has become music, and it is no longer possible to put your favorite song on a call with more than two movements.
What these trends among developers are connected with is still not clear, but setting a ringtone on the HTC Windows Phone 8S is still possible (it’s just done with certain nuances).

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.
On a note
Even now there are devices in which it is possible to select a ringtone for a call or SMS only from standard ringtones. But this is not such a big problem, everything can be solved by installing one old and proven application on your smartphone - Rings Extended.
The sequence of actions does not change, except that an additional item appears in the list of methods for selecting a melody - Rings Extended. We press it, and then we select a melody in any way available to the application - through a file manager, from a multimedia player, etc.
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.
Simplifying the process of installing your own ringtone on Android versions 5 and 6
Owners of new devices are very lucky. Manufacturers have greatly simplified the process of setting your own ringtone. Now everything is done through the device settings, without using a computer.
1.
Go to the device menu and select “Settings”.
2.
In this window we are interested in “Sounds and vibration”.
4.
Click “Ringtone” again (in some versions of Android the item is called “Ringtone”). If the device supports two SIM cards, you must first select the one on which you want to change the call. A window with preinstalled musical compositions appears in front of us.
5.
Scroll the list of songs to the very end and select the button that says “From device memory.”
