Sony XperiaE3 ring tones where they are?

[bluenite]

In the new phone xperiaE3 I cannot find a file folder with ring tones for the abolition of pre-recorded and to add my favorites. In what format are they? In \Ringtones are only 2 (*.ogg from Hangouts), other from the list are unreachable.
thanks for any advice

Hi @bluenitepk

You can transfer the Audio Files from your PC to use them as Ringtones like this:

1. Connect your device to your computer via USB.

2. On your computer browse the device's files / folders.

3. Open the "Internal Storage' folder and then go to the Music / Notifications directories.

4. Copy the desired audio files form your computer and transfer them in the Music / Notifications directories.
5. After clicking on SAFELY REMOVE MASS STORAGE DEVICE disconnect your phone from your PC.

To change a ringtone go to Settings -> Device -> Sound -> Ringtone & Vibration -> Phone ringtone.
Tap the "Music" icon located in the top-right corner of the screen.
Then you can select the audio files you want to use as ringtone and then tap "Done".

Hope that can be useful.

Best Regards.

hi xavinux

thank you for your guidance.

even if I wanted the opposite approach - removing never used sounds - if it is technically possible.

every KB of space in this case is good 😉

Hi @bluenitepk

Your're welcome.

Don't have to remove sounds to save kb of memory space. Set with the Android adb, to store apps in the SD Card intead of the internal memory. You should have ADB installed, the SDK up to date, and the USB debugging turned on from your device on the Developer Options. Then plug your Xperia to your computer and from a command prompt (you'll probably have to be in the folder where adb.exe is, most likely something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe) run this command:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2 (where 0 represents the internal storage and 2 represents the SD Card storage).

To clear warnings about the available memory space on your device you can run:

adb shell pm hide com.sonymobile.storagechecker

I hope can be useful.
