Galaxy S4 cannot detect ringtone

Today I will tell you about a strange glitch that happened to one of my Android devices this week. I decided to change the ringtone on my old Galaxy S4 (i9500) running Android 5 which I use now as my secondary cell phone.

Thus, I prepared a small mp3 file that contained a short loop of a track and uploaded it to my Galaxy phone via USB cable. I stored the file into device’s memory because I don’t use a memory card on this phone.
