You can customize your ringtones or notification sounds in Xperia C or other Xperia Smartphones with no technical expertise required.

Set your favorite audio file(s) as default ringtone using Walkman music player app (for all incoming calls):

2. Go to My music

3. Tap Songs

4. Pick one audio/music file in the list, and then hold-press on it, until it reveals the options, and then from the given options, select – Set as ringtone.

Use a PC with Windows OS to transfer audio files to set the default ringtone or notification sounds:

1. You must have a Sony PC Companion installed in your Windows computer system. If you haven’t installed it, I suggest to download and install it first before you proceed to the next step. (click here to download the Sony PC Companion)

2. Use the micro USB cable to connect the Xperia C to your PC – Windows OS. And then from your Xperia C, slide down the notification bar, tap the USB computer connection, and then select Media device (MTP).

Note: Know your default storage location, go to Settings – Storage – Preferred install location (see if its Internal storage or SD card).

4. In the given default storage location, Create two folders: Ringtones and notifications (create only these folders, if it doesn’t exist in your directory)

Ex.: Let’s say if its Internal storage, then create the following folders, otherwise, if its SD card, used it to create the folders – Ringtones and notifications.

5. From the given folders (namely Ringtones and notifications), transfer the audio/music files you need to set the ringtone or the default notification sounds. After transferring the audio files, disconnect the smartphone to your PC – Windows.
