How do I choose my own ringtone as alarm? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried placing my ringtones into the Ringtone folder but they didn't show up in the ringtone list in Alarm. And they are not in the music section as well.
Advice please
-Edit-
Never mind, I found that I have to put it in Alarms folder instead.

haha i had the same issue in the beginning but figured it out as well

Ring Tones (location?)

This is probably a dumb question but where are the rings tones on the Inspire HD?
Mine is under /sdcard/ringtones
Stock ringtones are in system/media/audio/ringtones. I place custom ringtones in sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and they appear in the ringtone list in settings.

Thanks for the replies all!!

Custom notification / ringtones

Had anybody had problems setting custom ringtones or notifications. I have dropped the mp3s into the relevant folders just like I've done with other Androids phones. However they never appear in the ringtone or notification list under settings > sounds.

changing ring tones is simple. if you look on your storage, there are three folders: ring tones, notifications, and alarms.
drop your file in the proper folder, reboot, and voila! custom ringtones

What format are the sound files?
For reference, I use .OGG or .MP3 and I've never had an issue with tones not working
.mp3
I cant even change to other notification sounds that are default on the phone.
Sound bite looks like Facebook pop sound

The files that I know are working are .ogg, .wav, .mp3, .m4a, so obviously something weird is going on with your phone. I have noticed using KitKat on different devices that it doesn't always like for instance the whole "Notifications" folder being moved from my computer into the device storage and replacing the original Notifications folder that is already in storage. I've had to copy/move the files from inside the Notifications folder on my computer to the Notifications folder already in storage instead of doing a copy/paste of the whole folder. I couldn't deal with not being able to use my custom ringtones or notification sounds. Unless you have an app installed that is somehow affecting your system sounds it sounds to me like it's time for a factory reset unless you are rooted and have a backup you can use. Or... flash the system image with adb. Good luck!

How to use an MP3 for an alarm

So, in the past I've put music files into a folder called Alarms and I can use them for my alarm sound. Yesterday I flashed stock 4.4.3 firmware onto my phone (I had been using CM11 for almost 2 months), and put an mp3 file onto the stock Alarms folder. However, I can't see that file in the choice list. Before this I was able to use custom sound as alarms and I am sure that I had placed the sound file into that alarms folder. Does any one have any suggestions?

I'd also like to know how this is done as well as setting a custom ringtone.

For the ringtone, put music files into the folder called Ringtones, on the sdcard, and then you can select them when you assign a ringtone to someone.

Alarm volume

Hello,
is there a way to customize alarm sound volume for specific alarm? I don't want to do it for all alarms at the same time.
Change to using the Google clock app

Google Clock doesn't have this feature either
BTW these instructions mention volume control for individual alarms but it's obviously different settings than on my device (there is no such an option on my device). Can anyone confirm that setting "Alarm volume" exists on his device?

I'm using B126.... maybe things changed in newer version?
You can select different alarm tones for each alarm. Some are louder than others.
Or you can create louder/quieter tones on a PC and import them.
