i go into settings->system and click [add ring tone]
i switch the one i want and press ok

then i go into settings->personal and click [Phone]
and find the file under the Ring tone: dropdown box

you dont go into sounds and notifications to change ring tone

If the ringtone is a .mid file, or possibly even a .wav (others will confirm?), then you first need to choose the option to 'create ringtone' on the phone before it will appear in the Notifications listbox.

On the other hand, where some users get confused, is when they cannot find a .wma file, when going into the "create ringtone" option, for the simple reason that .wma ringtones don't NEED converting, and are already in the notifications list box, if you saved them in the right place.

So for .wavs, midis, and similar, you need to first choose the option on the phone to Create a ringtone.

But for .wma files, if you save in the right place, these will NOT be available in the covert list, and instead ALREADY in the sounds and notifications drop down list.

All I had to do was to copy them into the Windows/Rings folder. And they were listed along with the original ringtones.
