What is your ringtone? Surely it’s standard, but you can set any ringtone on your Android smartphone and even set your favorite ringtone music. Today you will learn what ways to change the standard ringtone exist.
Basic information
and “Personal dial tone” allow you to replace the dial tone on incoming and outgoing calls in the Home region. The services are not valid when roaming in Russia or abroad. “Change tone” changes the tone melody on an incoming call, “Personal tone” - on an outgoing call. That is, if you want to hear your melody when you call yourself, “Personal dial tone” is your choice. If you want the person calling you to hear your unique melody, then you can connect.
You can replace your beep with a composition or melody you like, a holiday greeting, a joke or anecdote, a cheerful reminder of an important date. The duration of the melody on the tone is not limited , it will not turn off after a certain period of time.
Both of these services have a single user profile and music library .
In other words, the melodies you purchased as part of one service can be used for another service. This is very convenient because you don’t have to pay twice for the same compositions. However, the playback settings in each option operate separately from each other.
We set the desired composition through the standard settings
Use the menu to go to settings. Next - go to the sound tab. But then the fun begins. There is a call change function in the sound settings, that’s for sure - but you’ll have to figure out where it is. It may be called “Vibrate and ringtone”, or “Phone ringtones”, or something else. Click on the “Call” item and change the melodies, indicating the desired composition in the file manager.
Unfortunately, even now there are still phone models that allow you to set only standard ringtones as a call. There is a solution to this problem thanks to the special application Rings Extended. The application is free and can be downloaded from the Android market. When installed, it is added to the system. By going to Settings and selecting “Phone Signal”, the “Rings Extended” button will appear. When you click on it, you can set any song or audio file as a ringtone.
How to connect
You can also connect “Personal beep” in the following ways:
- Call the number through the voice menu : 0770 – “Replace tone”, 0660 – “Personal tone”;
- Enter the USSD command : *770*11# - “Replace beep”, *660*11# - “Personal beep”;
- Send an empty SMS message to the number : 0770 – “Replace tone”, 0660 – “Personal tone”.
Please note that in this case only the basic option is connected , the melody is not automatically installed.
If you know the code of the melody that you want to set for the beep, then you can set it like this:
- Call the number through the voice menu : 0770 – “Replace beep”, 0660 – “Personal beep”, press “1” and follow the prompts of the autoinformer;
- Enter the USSD command : *770* YYY# - “Replace beep”, *660* YYY# - “Personal beep”, where YYY is the code of the corresponding melody;
- Send an SMS message with the code of the melody you like to the number : 0770 – “Replace tone”, 0660 – “Personal tone”.
Also, any melody or set of melodies can be connected and disabled on the official website of the services https://zg.megafon.ru, after going through a simple registration procedure. This method is more convenient, since you can see all the melodies and directions on your screen and choose from them.
We use a more advanced method to set the melody
If the previous methods did not work, let's try a more advanced method. To do this, you will need to go to the memory card on your device through the file manager and create several folders there. The first folder we will create will be called media. Then create an audio folder in the media directory.
By going to this folder, we will find ourselves in the sdcard/media/audio directory. Inside we create four directories: alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui. Please note that directories are created without periods or spaces, with a lowercase letter. Thus we get:
- sdcard/media/audio/alarms - alarm signals;
- sdcard/media/audio/notifications - signals for alerts and SMS;
- sdcard/media/audio/ringtones - ringtones for the phone;
- sdcard/media/audio/ui - interface sounds.
Now, to set the desired ringtone, alarm, interface or SMS, you just need to put the desired melody in the appropriate directory. You do not have to create all 4 folders, if, for example, you want to change only the standard signal - just create the path sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and put the desired song in the ringtones directory. After completing all operations, reboot the device and try to set up a call through the phone settings - you will see that the audio recordings you moved have been added to the assortment of standard ringtones.
If you have root rights, then you can do it even simpler: copy the desired ringtones to the appropriate directories at system/media/audio.
