How do you set music as ringtones??

undarated · #1 (**permalink**) 08-28-2010, 12:43 PM

For some reason I am not able to set songs as ringtones or any other sound as a ringtone. I can play the music and also have put the files in the ringtone folder but when I press & hold on the file and select music options, Set as ringtone is greyed out.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Ok I got the music to set but now the notifications ringtone is set for silent.

you have to put it in the notification folder i think lol or make one or something

I'm thinking since sound wasn't working, they took out all the ringtones and notification sounds, cuz Android has like 30 notification sounds and 35 or so ringtones lol

uhh how did you figure it out? I cant even get anything besides silent to show up as an option, I thought ringtones were supposed to go in the andboot\media\audio\ringtones directory??

well you can open the song song in the default media player, bring up the menu and itll say "set as ringtone".... if you ahve premade ones like on your sd, just use a file explorer and open it up in the player and select it from there..

obviously not the standard solution but thats what i did..
