There is a problem with your latest instructions on how to add personalized incoming notification tones/ringtones in your newest version on Skype for android. Version 2.0.0.47
These instructions you have posted on your help section no longer work.
ALSO as I tried, it seems you can no longer do this (changing the incoming notification ringtone) at all.
(you also spelled personalized incorrectly on your site) https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq...ification+sounds&fromSearchFirstPage=false#15
As I cannot change this notification, I cannot hear a skype call come through (being as the default tone is really quiet). Any help on this would be most appreciated!!

Yes, you can select from ringtones that are already pre-loaded onto the phone or stored in your music library. To set a personalised ringtone:
6. Sign in to Skype.
7. Go to the Profile tab.
8. Press the phone's Menu button.
9. Select Settings.
10. Select Notification ringtone and select your ringtone.
