how do I install a downloaded ringtone to my Droid x2????

I purchased and downloaded a ringtone from Verizon. I opened and 'saved' the ringtone. But I don't know where it was saved or how to retrieve it or how to install it. I checked my 'music' files...but it is not there....where do I find it and how do I install it???

Thanks so much.

1. Go to Text Messages view, threader veiw that shows the music note pic when its not opened.

2. Press and hold on Pic

3. Select Save from the list

4. Now the ringer should be saved in SD/Messages folder

5. Then you can copy file to SD Card/Media/Audio/Ringtones and you can then access the ringers through the stock menu.

did it get to you in an email or text message?

it's got to be an mp3 to be used as a ringtone or it won't save & it will be found in music.

Usually you will recieve a message with the ringer attached then you would.... 1. Go to Text Messages view, threader veiw that shows the music note pic when its not opened. 2. Press and hold on Pic 3. Select Save from the list 4. Now the ringer should be saved in SD/Messages folder 5. Then you can copy file to SD Card/Media/Audio/Ringtones and you can then access the ringers through the stock menu.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. It came in a text message......it shows the speaker icon....I click on it and I can hear the ringtone.

I tap on it when it is playing and to the right of the pause is a sort of square button...when I click on that...I have the option to 'save' it...which I did.....but I don't know where it was saved.....or how to retrieve it or how to install it.

i don't know how to find that folder on the phone. i emailed a few to my phone, opened/saved to sd card & went to music folder on phone, selected that file & selected it as my ringtone.

if you can, save it again.

hope this doesn't muddy the waters.
