Android Central Question
My wife got a new Pixel XL with Android 8.1.0, and it's a step up from her Android 4.4. I was expecting good things yet she could not add a custom ringtone without downloading an app to do it.
I copied an MP3 file to the "Ringtones" folder, but it did NOT show up in the ringtone list from settings. I pressed the MP3 file but there was no option to "SET AS RINGTONE". On top of all this, we only had about 10 default ringtones to choose from. I could not believe this.
Am I wrong that setting the ringtone is one of the first and most important things that people do with their phones? Isn't this an important function? Why would Google only provide 10 default ringtones? This is Android 8.1 NOT Android 1.0. Why is there no EASY way to set a custom ringtone. I watched a number of youtube videos and copying an mp3 to the ringtone folder worked for them -- but NOT for us.
We are DEFINITELY going to an iPhone next time. This is crazy. I had to find and download an app just to do a simple thing like set a custom ringtone. That's terrible.
