Home Page Changes When Using Alarm

Hi, after a year, my home page has started changing when I set an alarm with stock clock app provided. I am using a S3 Blaze with Android 4.0.4.

I like access to pages I have with all icons. Instead, my home page is switching to one with four icons on bottom (can add more but need to swipe to get to them after added). Also, I can add AccuWeather and "Time/Calendar display" in settings of this new view.

Another change is that calls are defaulting to speaker when this page is engaged.

I have a pic of the page I don't want but am not allowed to link it.

This home page view seems to go away the day after I delete any alarms which I had set. It comes back the day after I set a new alarm.

I have not added any widgets, docking, or locks that I know of. I also have not downloaded any launchers. Any help would be appreciated.
