When the phone (Droid Mini) is connected to the computer I can see the ringtones folder. I placed a small mp3 file in that folder. I can't see that folder (or any folder other than downloads) from the phone. 1 - Can an mp3 be used as a ringtone on this phone? 2 - If so, how do I select it as the ringtone? 3 - If not, how do I convert it to a usable format?
That's odd. I just copied another .mp3 file to my Ringtones folder and it instantly showed up in the Phone app Settings to chose as a tone. The default tones are system files (and I think they are hidden) so you will not see them with a normal fie browser.The file I put in the ringtones folder does not show up in the list of choices. Oddly, none of the ringtones that are on the list are in the ringtones folder. There were two files (*.ogg) in the ringtones folder when I got it.
