Add ringtones to your smartphone
You can add a file in any of the following file types as a ringtone for your
smartphone: MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, QCELP or WAV. How to use the
file as a ringtone depends on the following: the file type, how you obtain
the file and whether you want to use the file as a ringtone only or play it
in the Music app.
You can obtain files to use as ringtones in any of the following ways:
•
Download a ringtone from one of the many ringtone apps in App
Catalog (see
HP webOS App Catalog and Software Manager
).
•
Download an MP3 file that you want to use as a ringtone from the
Amazon MP3 app (if available on your smartphone) (see
Amazon
MP3
).
•
Copy a file from your computer (see
Copy a ringtone to your
smartphone
).
To use an AMR or QCELP file as a ringtone, the file must be stored in the
ringtones
folder in your smartphone's USB drive storage. Here's how to
get the file into the correct folder:
•
Files downloaded from App Catalog: The file is placed in the ringtones
folder automatically.
•
Files copied from your computer: You must place the file in the
ringtones
folder (see
Copy a ringtone to your smartphone
).
To use a file in the
ringtones
folder as a ringtone, see
Select a file from the
ringtones folder as a ringtone
.
For MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WAV files, you have two options:
•
To use the file as a ringtone only: Place the file in the
ringtones
folder
(see
Copy a ringtone to your smartphone
). If the file is already on your
smartphone, connect your smartphone to your computer as described
in that procedure, navigate to the file and move the file to the
ringtones
folder. If you download a file from a ringtone app in App Catalog, it is
automatically placed in the ringtones folder. To use a file in the
ringtones folder as a ringtone, see
Select a file from the ringtones folder
as a ringtone
.
•
To both use the file as a ringtone and listen to the file in the Music app:
Copy the file to your smartphone and place the file in any folder in your
smartphone's USB drive storage except
ringtones
(see
Copy files and
folders using USB Drive mode
). If you download an MP3 file from the
Amazon MP3 app, it is automatically stored in a folder where you can
both listen to it in the Music app and use it as a ringtone. To use the file
as a ringtone, follow the steps in
Select a song as a ringtone
.
Select a file from the ringtones folder as a ringtone
The ringtone you select here applies globally to all incoming calls. You
can also set a ringtone for an individual contact (see
Add a ringtone to a
contact
).
