How to Set ringtones in windows phone 8.1

Windows Phone comes with a large assortment of ringtones to choose from, but you might prefer to express yourself with the sound of your favourite music, animal, power tool – whatever.

Note

If you can play a sound file on your phone, if it isn't protected with digital rights management (DRM) and if it's smaller than 30 MB, then you can use it as a ringtone on your phone.

You can also go to the Windows Phone Store on your phone to download ringtone apps (or the Windows Phone Store on the web from your PC). You can even use sound files sent to you in text messages.

If you have a sound file on your PC that you want to use, then you can add it as a ringtone a few different ways – depending on the specific type of computer you're using. To find a Windows Phone app that works with your computer, see Synchronising your Windows Phone.

You don't necessarily need an app to add ringtones to your phone, though. You can also use one of the methods listed below.

Normandy May Lead Nokia's Surprise Android Attack

 A funny thing happened on Nokia's way to Microsoft -- it decided to make an Android phone. The low-end smartphone market is where the money is, but to make it there, a phone has to have access to a wealth of apps. Although Microsoft has been working feverishly to ramp up Windows mobile app offerings, its catalog is paltry compared to Android's stockpile.

 

 

 

 

Nokia might be planning a shift away from its Windows Phone base in future smartphones -- even as the mobile phone unit of the business heads to Microsoft.

The company is working on an Android phone as part of a push into the low-end smartphone market, according to The Verge. Several sources close to Nokia suggested the company is working on the project under the code name "Normandy."

Nokia reportedly is testing the device with a forked version of Android that doesn't skew to Google's version of the operating system -- much like Amazon has customized the OS for its Kindle Fire tablets. However, Normandy will support Android apps including Skype.
"The low-cost smartphone is the growing volume segment market in both emerging and developing markets," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. "[Nokia] would have a better chance with Android because of the larger app base, but it's a critical part of the market that no handset vendor can afford to ignore."

Asha Replacement?

A leaked image of the handset appeared on the Twitter account @evleaks last month, depicting a device that has a similar appearance to Nokia's Lumia line, but without any physical buttons. Normandy reportedly is envisioned as an equivalent to -- or replacement for -- Nokia's Asha line as it bids for success in the low-end market.
Those who were working on the Normandy project apparently were told the device was on track for release next year.
"Nokia is working closely with Microsoft, and they have been fairly successful at building the Windows Phone [devices]," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told TechNewsWorld, "but Nokia is not limited to working with Microsoft. Not yet anyway."

Microsoft Concern

"It would be a concerning development for Microsoft, because Microsoft is looking for increasing market share of Windows Phone," Carl Howe, vice president of data sciences research at the Yankee Group, told TechNewsWorld.
"I don't think Nokia Android phones count, whether they're owned by Nokia or Microsoft. I think that would be problematic in terms of their competition for market share," he observed.
"[Android is] an inexpensive platform and one that's pretty well-known. It has the advantage of having a pretty big app store. Despite Microsoft's claims, Microsoft World still doesn't have a big portfolio," said Howe.

Deal Set to Close

If Nokia doesn't bring the phone to market before the Microsoft deal is final, there is always the chance that Microsoft might cancel the project. The company is in the midst of buying Nokia's handset wing and a 10-year license for Nokia's patents for US$7.2 billion. The European Commission approved the deal last week.
Meanwhile, Microsoft reportedly is planning to offer its mobile operating systems -- Windows Phone and Windows RT -- for free. That could be its next move in its battle against the proliferation of Android, the open source OS Google provides to manufacturers for free.

Premium Push

Since Nokia makes up the bulk of shipped Microsoft-powered handsets, Microsoft's acquisition of the handset business will wipe out any licensing fees anyway. Microsoft may instead look at an ad-supported model for its mobile operating systems while pushing consumers to sign up for premium products like Skype or SkyDrive.
Whether such a move will allow Microsoft to make gains on Android is questionable.
"I am not forecasting Microsoft market share ever exceeding single digits," Tirias' McGregor said.
"They are chasing competitors and a market that already had critical mass. They should have given the OS away several years ago when they had the opportunity," he maintained.
"In reality, they've been giving those away for free anyway," the Yankee Group's Howe said. "They might have licensing costs, but at the same time they're providing marketing incentives to the OEMs, which coincidentally match or exceed the licensing costs. It may be a zero-price license, but it's still a licensed product."

HTC One gold edition launches

The Taiwanese handset maker is the latest to give its flagship handset the luxury treatment.

The HTC One in one of its more regular shades of silver, black, blue or red is already a wonderful device and often described as the iPhone of the Android world. And with

such a reputation it should come as little surprise that the
company has decided to take another leaf out of Apple's book and offer a gold version of the phone.


However the makeover is skin-deep. Underneath the gold-colored body is the same Snapdragon processor, amount of RAM and software.

The move follows a similar decision by Samsung to offer its latest phone, the Galaxy SIV, in a limited edition gold-toned finish in September.

Samsung's phone debuted two weeks after Apple released its latest flagship, the iPhone 5S, which, as well as graphite or space grey, also comes in gold.

Following the handset's official launch event on September 10, developers at the company revealed that the gold version of the device had been referred to as "The Kardashian Phone" internally.

It is worth noting that none of the handsets are covered in actual gold but, if real gold is more your taste, there are a number of boutique jewelers that specialize in offering real gold-coated Samsung, Apple and HTC handsets, such as Gold and Co and Gold Genie.
