Set a custom ringtone on Sony Z3 Xperia Compact I'm trying to set a custom ringtone on Sony Z3 Xperia Compact. I have copied the desired MP3 file into /storage/emulated/0/Notifications. However, on the ringtone list, I don't see the file and can't find any way to add it. There is no "Add" button in the ringtone list:

There is only a "musical notes" icon button in the upper-right corner. If I press it, the following strange screen appears containing some unknown list of music without my ringtone:

I have rebooted my phone and nothing changed. For some time after a reboot, I was unable to press the "musical notes" icon button since it was saying "Updating" or "Refreshing" in Russian. This was probably the media scanner running. So, I now know how to run the media scanner but still can't change my ringtone.

I have put the file into /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones. Also, I checked that it appeared in /sdcard/Ringtones and rebooted my phone, but nothing changed.

How can I set a custom ringtone on Sony Z3 Experia Compact?
Based on this tutorial, you need to put your files in /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/ringtones.

If it still doesn't work, try opening the file directly from an Android file explorer, then click "Set as ringtone" (you may need to click on the three dots before seeing it):
