Of course, today preference is given to smartphones. A smartphone is practically a mini-computer. And it is smartphones that have the set of functions and capabilities that modern users need. Today we will talk about an issue that every user may encounter.

We have already talked about this issue several times on our website and the question is as follows: how to set the desired ringtone for your phone. Today we will examine this issue using the example of the Nokia Lumia smartphone.

It can be immediately noted that this issue plagues many users who have purchased smartphones based on Windows Phone. If you open the settings in your Nokia Lumia smartphone and try to set a ringtone, you will see that you can only use standard ringtones for this.

In fact, setting a ringtone on a Nokia Lumia phone is very similar. There are also several rules that the ringtone must comply with.

Firstly, the resolution of the melody must be in MP3 or WMA format. Secondly, the ringtone must have DRM protection installed. Thirdly, the duration of the song should not exceed 40 seconds. And fourthly, the size of the melody should not be more than 1 megabyte.

You can create such a melody in a special program or on specialized online services that can work. Both the first and second can be found on our website. After creating a ringtone, you will need to upload it to your phone. This is done by synchronizing your computer and phone.

You can use the Zune program to synchronize. Run this program on your computer and connect your phone using a USB cable to the PC. The melody you created for the call needs to be dragged. It will appear there and will be signed like a ringtone. It might look like this:

Then you just need to right-click on the ringtone icon and select "Change". In the window that opens, you can add data about the melody, but in the " Genre"you need to write a word Ringtone. After this, you need to press the " Enter" or the button " OK".

Now you need to sync the ringtone with your phone. Again, right-click on the melody and select " Sync with" and here you need to select your phone model. After this, the melody will appear in the list of ringtones that can be set to ringtones in your Nokia Lumia.

At first glance, this instruction seems large and difficult, but in reality this is far from the case. Setting a ringtone on your Nokia Lumia smartphone is quite simple.

Nowadays, many people are switching to smartphones from regular feature phones. Such users often have absolutely no understanding of the functionality of the operating system. Often they don’t even know how to set a ringtone. Interestingly, in the early stages of Android development this was really very difficult, almost impossible. But now you can change the call in a couple of finger movements.

There are several ways to set a ringtone for a call on Android. The simplest one is to use a music player for this purpose. However, a third-party solution will not work! You need to launch the pre-installed player, which is usually called " Music».

1. Launch the application and select the song you want to set to ringtone.

2. Hold your finger on this song until the context menu appears.

3. Select " Use as ringtone" or " Put on call».

Attention: This method may not work on new smartphones. It all depends on the specific branded shell. In many of them, you can install music on a call only in other ways - the player is not suitable for these purposes.

Setting the melody through the “Settings” section

This method works on the vast majority of smartphones. In order to put a song on a call, you need to do the following:

1. Go to " Settings».

2. Go to the section " SoundSounds and notifications».

3. Here click on the item “ Ringtone" It may also be called " Phone ringtone», « Ringtone"etc.

4. At this step, you may need to select an application with which to view your media library. For example, you can use a file manager for this ES Explorer .

5. Select the song you want to use as a ringtone.

That's it! In the same way, you can set a melody for SMS on Android - in this case you should be interested in the item “ Default notification ringtone».

Using the Contacts app

At one time, even Symbian-based smartphones allowed you to set a specific melody for each contact. You can do this on Android as well. To do this, you must follow these instructions:

1. Go to the section " Contacts».

2. Select the contact you are interested in.

3. Here you need to click the button “ Change" It may look like a pencil or hide under the ellipsis located in the upper right corner.

4. Now you definitely need to click on the three dots. In the pop-up menu, click on the item " Set ringtone».

5. Select the application that will be used to view the list of songs stored on the device.

6. Select the folder with MP3 songs, and then the song itself.

7. Save the result by clicking on the checkmark.

Please note: On some smartphones, the ringtone setting process may differ. Everything, again, depends on the branded shell - each manufacturer is sophisticated in its own way. Our example is given for “pure” Android installed on devices of the Nexus family.

Using Third Party Applications

You can also use third-party utilities to change ringtones. They often make the process a little more convenient. We recommend trying it Rings Extended , GO SMS Pro and RingTone Slicer FX. They all differ in their functionality, providing more advanced options for installing ringtones.

A custom ringtone must meet some rules:

2. No DRM protection.
3. The length should not exceed 40 seconds.
4. Size less than 1MB.

If the melody does not correspond to at least one point, it will not work. Editing songs is not a favorite of many users, but there is one quick and easy way.

Creating your own melody.

There is one good program that works great on Windows - Windows Movie Maker. We're not talking about the "modern" version of Windows Movie Maker, which is part of Windows Live Essentials 2011 and is actually called Windows Live Movie Maker. But you will need an ancient XP version of this program, which you can download from the link (7.0 MiB).

This older version has one advantage over the new one - it can edit and create audio files in addition to video files. That is why the program is a good choice for creating your own melodies.

After the program is installed and you run it, press Ctrl+I or File->Import to collections and find the music files you want to use for your ringtone. WMM 2.6 can work with both MP3 and WMA files.

Select a song, it will be displayed in Collections.

You will need to change it so it doesn't exceed 40 seconds. To do this, drag it onto the storyboard at the very bottom of the program window. A warning will appear about using only the timeline, click OK. You will see that your track is now presented as a clip.

After that, edit the file as you wish using the sliders, you can even use effects such as fade in and fade out.

In the Save Movie Wizard, select My Computer and click Next, then enter a file name and folder to save it in, click Next. In the next window click Show additional options, select the second item Maximum for file size and put 1000Kb, click Next . In the next window, click Finish when completed.

Now you need to synchronize your ringtone with your phone. To do this you will need to install it on your computer.

Sync your ringtone with Windows Phone.

Launch Zune. If you saved the file in a folder controlled by Zune then it will be in the collection, otherwise just drag it into the program.

In our case it is "Ringtone".

Right-click and select Edit.

Here you can change the title, artist, etc., but the main point is this field Genre. You need to enter “Ringtone” (without quotes) into it and press Enter to close the dialog box.

To synchronize your ringtone with your phone, click on it with the second mouse button and select Sync with[phone model]. After that, it can be found at the very top in the list of ringtones on your smartphone (Settings->ringtones+sounds->Ringtone).
