Custom music Ringtone does not work

Help Fairphone 4
,
9

So to bei clear. It does not matter what Ringtone I choose here. All I get is that Ding sound and I do not know where it comes from.

For me, it smells like a factory reset :frowning:

11

To change a ringtone? Oh, come on. :cry:

12

Probably clearing cache and storage of the phone APP helps?

Tried both. Did not help.

Try turning “Do not disturb” ON and then OFF, and then restart the phone. This has helped with similar cases in the past.

EDIT : just noticed in your screenshot: I think Do not disturb is on. Turn it off, then restart the phone.

I believe that’s the topic you were looking for, maybe somebody who’s solved this before can help again :slightly_smiling_face:

And welcome to the community @jawibu :wave:

I tried your trick- disturb on / off and restart does not work om my Fairphone 4. Do you have another trick?

Hi jawibu and welcome to the forum.

Here is the method I use to set a custom ringtone.

  1. Make sure that the standard properties of the music file (mp3, ogg, wav, …) include a title. This property will be used by Android so that the song can be included in the alphabetical list of available ringtones to choose from.
  2. Copy or move the music file to the “Ringtones” folder of your phone’s internal storage.
  3. Set the new ringtone by going to
    Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone
    If the standard properties of your music file include a title, you should see that title in the alphabetical list.
