S4 - same day alarm

[AC Question]

Can you program the S4 mini alarm for the same day? It looks like the earliest I can do it is for the next day?
The Pantech could !

Hello. Yes. I don't know why you think not. You should have a similar layout to this.
Thanks for the screenshot opportunity. I love screenshots!

If today is Thursday and you tap Thursday, it says the alarm is for a week from now.
I don't see any way that I can set an alarm for an hour from now.

If it's 9 p.m. Thursday now, if I set it for 9.05 p.m. it will go off in 5 minutes.

If I set it for 8.55 p.m. it would go off next Thursday at 8.55 p.m.

Aha! !!
You have to set the alarm setting for some other day and then tap the current day. If you tap the current day first, it then programs it for the next week. Not intuitively obvious.
Thanks for the reply.

No. If you set it for a future time i.e. one minute away, it will sound the alarm then. If you set it for 2 minutes ago, it will ring on that time the following Thursday.
So you can set it for any time today, as long as it's in the future.

Understood. I think the best way is to have no lights lit on the "days" part of the display - then it works as an alarm for that day.
I think we've beat that horse soundly. Thanks
