I'm just setting up my MI 5S Plus and I'm used to using a custom ringtone that I always put in my music file. When I go to set the ringtone, I click the + at the bottom and what looks like some of my music MP3s come up but the one I want as a ringtone isn't listed. It's listed in the music app where I can search for it but I can'[t set it as my ringtone from there. When I try and add it from settings there is no search function that I can see and it isn't listed in my music. In the file explorer app I can search for it and find it easy but I don't see any way to set it as my ringtone. Suggestions?
Well I answered my own question. I couldn't set the MP3 as my ringtone from the music or file app that comes with the phone so I installed ES File Explorer, found the file, opened it with the ES Media Player that is part of the app, and there was the option to set as ringtone. So if anyone else has this problem this was the way I finally was able to do it.

Hi,
On my qtek 1020, I had set up a mp3 song as my ringtone, but now I want to change it. When I click on other songs, i do not see the Set as ringtone option. I even deleted the song which was set as the ringone, but it still plays as the ringtone, and on other songs I still dont see a set as ringtone option. Whats the best way to change the ringtone?
Thanks
Go to Start->Settings->Phone to set your ringtone.
The ringtone you set is probably now in windows\rings
Hi,
Thanks for that. I was able to delete that ringtone by going to windows/rings but I still dont see "set as ringtone" options for other Mp3's that I have got. I copied an MP3 song to the windows/rings folder, but still dont see it as an ringtone options..any ideas How I could possibly set this up as a ringtone?
Could this have something to do with the file size?
if it's wm2002 it can only use wav ring tones
if it's wm2003 then it can only use wav and mid and wma ring tones
you can make mp3 to wma using the free program CDEX
If you have installed a media player that has associated itself with .mp3 then you will not be able to select mp3s in the settings. You will need to open the player installed and clear the association in settings. If this does not work search for "mp3 ringtone" and you will find the registry setting that you may need to manually change.
I want to set a custom ringtone. I have some mp3's on my Tilt. I followed these instructions from my phone's manual....
Set an MP3 song as your ringtone
1. Copy the MP3 music file to the My Documents folder on your phone.
2. Tap Start > Settings > Phone.
3. In the Ring type list, select the MP3 song as your ringtone.
I did exactly that and the ringtones are not in my Ring type list. I went to File Explorer to make sure the mp3 was there and it is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
My Ringtones is the correct folder.

OK, any ideas why it's not working?
Have you tried this?....Tap & hold on the song you want as your ringtone, then select Set As Ringtone.

yea, i tried that too. when i did that it said, 'saved as ringtone' but it wasn't in the ringtone list in the phone settings. i have WM 6.1 installed if that helps any. my song is .mp3 format but i heard that .wma, .mp3, .wav. and .midi all work as ringtones. i tried a 30 second song and a 4 minute song and neither worked. does it have to be a certain size?
i figured it out. my mp3 file was 650kb. i cut it down to 378kb and it works. the length is only 16 seconds now which is fine for a ringtone but does 378kb sound right for a 16 second mp3?
i know the app exist straight out the box but for some reason it does not show up in the app drawer to use it.. when inside "manage applications" its listed but doesnt give you an option to do anything with it..
has anyone been able to use this app?
i use this a bunch to trim mp3s and asign them to my fav contacts.
Ringtone Trimmer
To use the Ringtone trimmer go to the media player or "Music" app. Find the song you want to trim (easiest way is to play then pause it) Menu>Set as Ringtone>Trim the Ringtone. Hope this helps.
Nice.. This helps tremendously. I guess it's not a dedicated app like on other htc devices. I tried snooping around the music app and seen the set as ringtone option but thought that would set the whole song as a ringtone.... Good find. Thanx
does not show up
When I go into the music and select to make it a ringtone, it does not give me the option to trim it. I'm on the aria, is there another way to trim?
I found that some songs let me some don't

I wonder why this happens.
I always delete the ringtone trimmer from every rom. Try using Ringdroid from market, it is free and much more useful.
There is a default setting ringtone in my LGO3D. How to change customize that to use my own mp3 as a ringtone? Is it possible to set individual ringtone for each contact?
Thanks.
custom ringtones
I created a directory in mnt / sdcard that I named it audio, then I created ringtones directory in it, I put mp3 files there and then reset the phone, mp3 files appeared in a selection of tones
I manage to make it appear in my ringtone selection by placing the audio files in sdcard/media/ringtones. But now it make the audio not appear in music player. Default music player require it to be placed in sdcard/media/music folder.
Is there a way to make the ringtone files able to be browse and select? Any app recomendation? I tried ringo. But the audio files need to be places specific in the sdcard/media/ringtones.
I go into my music press and hold an mp3 song you want at it says use as ringtone
dno if that helps
this works
look on the market for "ringtone maker" it is free and you browse for a song on your library and then crop it and you can either set it is notification ringtone or default call tone
As for the contact assignment i have not tried this but just had a quick look in my contacts and i cant see an option for it.
Ringdroid
I use and enjoy Ringdroid.
Ok, found that ringo pro can do the trick. I hope there is a free way.
Hi all,
i can't add a notification sound neither mp3 or ogg.
I put files in many folders and can play it directly with file explorer but i can't set in "default notification sound" because the music app didn't see the file.
I've read many forums where they say to turn off filters in music app but i can't figure out how.
My phone is a xiami mi4 with miui 4.10.17.
Thanks in advance.
