Selecting New Phone Ringtones and Notification Ringtones
Your DROID comes with a number of fun ringtones and alerts already preloaded. In this
section, we show you how to select these preloaded items.
TIP: The steps described in this section will also work for custom ringtones and alarms – once
you have them synced to your device. You will learn how to sync these to your DROID later in this
chapter.
Follow these steps to select from the
DROID’s preloaded (or previously synced)
ringtones and alerts:
1.
Tap your Settings icon.
2.
Tap Sound.
3. Tap Phone ringtone to listen to and
select a new ringtone. Tap OK when
done. All the standard ringtones and
any new ringtones you have added
to the media/audio/ringtones folder
on your media card will appear in
this list.
4. Tap Notification ringtone to set a
new ringtone for your notifications.
Tap OK when done. All the standard
notification ringtones and any new
ringtones you have added to the
media/audio/notifications folder
on your media card will appear in
this list.
Copying Custom Ringtones and Alerts to Your DROID
You cannot select and use your own music or custom ringtones until you copy them into
the correct folder on your DROID. In this section, we will show you how to copy your
own music and ringtones to your DROID. Once you do this, you can enjoy custom
ringtones for your phone, contacts, alerts, notifications, and text messages. Note that
you need a MicroSD format media card to perform this step. Compatible file formats for
ringtones are files with these extensions: MP3, MID, AAC, and WMA. Follow these steps
to copy your own music or ringtones to your DROID:
