Hey does anyone know which folder I need to drop my sound clip into in order to use it as an alarm sound? I put it in myringtones but it is not showing up on the phone? My music maybe..?

Put it in the windows folder. Pretty sure it has to be a .wav or .mid though, unless you get a third party solution. I know that's all that shows up in my list are .wav's and .mid

you must put anything you want to use for alarms under \windows directory. they must also be in wav/midi formats- thats the only formats the alarms use.

might have to set stock file explorer to show all files to make it show up.

Also make sure you are under the My Device folder, not My Documents.

If you're using your computer to do this, you first need to go to "my device" windows folder should be there.

just tried the "show all files" setting on mine, and with it not selected the windows directory will still show up. Is this a business phone possibly? might be some kind of security in effect that disallows access to the windows directory.
