How to install ringtones on your LG Optimus 2X

If you ever wanted to install new ringtones on your LG Optimus 2X, we show you the simple steps to do the same

p>The LG Optimus 2X features a number of preinstalled ringtones, but it may be you want something a little more personal on your phone.

In this guide, we show you exactly how you can install a new ringtone on your LG Optimus 2X.

First, you'll need to find some ringtones you like. To make things as simple as possible, ensure your ringtones are DRM-free MP3 files. Also, they should typically be 30-seconds or less in length.

A good source for free ringtones is mobile9.com and high quality normal, ringing ringtones can be purchased from RCP Tones. You can also make your own ringtones using music you already own thanks to free audio editing software such as Audacity.

Once you have some great ringtones on your computer, you're ready to go:

1. Ensure your microSD card is in your LG Optimus 2X, then connect it to your computer using the supplied USB cable
   
   
   1. If your LG Optimus 2X does not mount automatically, touch the USB icon that appears in the menu bar at the top of the display, drag it down to expose the Android Notification Pane, then tap on USB Connected and select Mount (or Disk Drive)
   
   


2. Using a file explorer on your computer, navigate to the root folder (the main directory) of the memory card in your LG Optimus 2X


3. Create a new folder called ringtones (some devices require a lowercase 'r' so please name the new folder exactly as specified)


4. Now, simply copy all of the MP3 ringtones you want on your LG Optimus 2X into the new ringtones folder

That's it! You can now unmount your LG Optimus 2X and your ringtones will become available as options when changing your ringtone.

To set one of your new MP3s as your ringtone:

1. From the home screen, tap Menu then Settings


2. Tap Sound, then Phone ringtone


3. Scroll to the ringtone you want, select it and then tap OK

Enjoy."

How to retrieve lost apps for free on your LG Optimus 2X

We show you the simple steps to retrieve lost apps for free on your LG Optimus 2X smartphone

Have you ever accidentally removed an application from your phone? There are many ways it can happen and it's always a mini-panic-attack-inducing moment when you realize you've lost something - especially if it's an app you've paid for.

However, if you do find yourself in this predicament, please try to avoid a shock-inspired repurchase. Instead, follow these quick and easy steps to re-download your lost applications for free.

1. Navigate to the Android Market application and launch the Market


2. Press the Menu button and select Downloads


3. Scroll through your list of downloaded applications until you find the one that you are looking for (any paid applications should show 'Purchased' next to them)


4. Once you've found your lost application, just re-download it as you did the first time

That's it! This also works for free applications as well, of course. Your download history is saved in the market to provide easy access to all your applications if needed.

Another handy use for this is freeing up device memory. If there's an application that you use occasionally, but you don't want it taking up your device's on-board memory when you aren't using it, simply remove it and re-download when you need it through this process.
