Changing a ringtone ?

Hi all

1 - I have somehow set a ringtone for someone in my phone list- how do I change this to. Nicer ringtone?

2- My tariff has 500mb data allowance and when I first got this phone my allowance ran out within 2 weeks, I am now in the second month and again the allowance has ran out with still 13 days to go for next months allowance.

My question is apart from switching on the wi-fi - how can I check what is running in the background silently .?

3- the battery life on my Samsung galaxy s2 needs charging again around 5-6pm after charging it all night- is this normal? I had a blackberry 9900 before this and had the same problem but having 3 faulty blackberries I was given the optin to opt for a diff phone hence why I choose Samsung s2. I seem to be suffering the same problem in respect of the battery draining. I might add I am not using the phone excessively.

Thank you in advance

Hugs xx
 
1 - There are a lot of ringtone options in the default list. If you have an MP3 in the memory, you can set it as a ringtone

2 - There should be a data monitor app in the Play Store. Have a look and maybe you can find something that works for you. You can also turn off the background data option in Settings > account and sync

3 - Smartphones normally have fast battery draining problem, especially if your phone is connecting to the net excessively. You can also clear background apps by using the default task manager. just clear the ram and that should do it.
 
it would be easier to set a ringtone using your media player... thats what i normally do since i think there is no option to set a downloaded song as ringtone at the "sound setting"..

i think task manager can show you the current running app

im not sure what to answer regarding your 3rd question since my batt life depends on how i use my phone... sometimes it lasts for 3 days when i only use text messaging apps like go sms and whatsapp...
