When a phone call comes in, Phone Ringer plays a "musical tune" that is not changeable.

I have tried to make the change to something else (possibly a normal "ringing sound") and have not been able to do so.

Is the "Musical Ringer Sound" locked in the factory software and cannot be changed?

HELP!

Yes and no or maybe. I thought the ringer sound wasn't changeable too. As I recall it was a 'classical' sounding ring. When I changed phones a few months back I noticed that the ringer I set in my new phone now plays as the ringer on the speakers. I figured it was my ancient Samsung S3 mini (android kit-kat) vs. my new Samsung J3 (android oreo). The other variable I can think of is that the ring tone on the new phone is a clip from a song I downloaded vs. one of the standard choices. I'll have to changed the ring tone to a standard tone and see if still works.

This poster is on Android. I can pair my work iPhone up to try too but hopefully, an iPhone user will chime in if its different.
