So I have been trying ro figure out this problem, my alarm is set for 4:15 am Monday through Friday (and will go off at that time) but in any clock widget shows 6:55. Sunday. See in pic.
I can not find any solution to this. I don't have any other clock widgets installed except what came with the S21 5g. (Which can not be uninstalled). Any ideas what I should try. I tried uninstalling & re-installing, clearing cache, reboots, different clock & weather apps to no avail. Unrooted of course.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a 3rd party weather app, and if so, could that clock/weather widget belong to that app?

It is a 3rd party clock & weather app, but it does not matter which one I use. I have tried several with the same results.
First things I want to clear up here , don't mislead me or others by saying it was what came with the s21 and can't be uninstalled , this can make people that try help lead you in wrong direction..

Ok, let's cool it down a notch. Your OP also made me think that you're using the phone's own stock widget.

So just to be clear: The stock Samsung clock/weather widget does display your alarm correctly, but multiple 3rd party clock/weather widgets do not, correct? Which 3rd party apps have you tried? The first thing I'd do is send feedback to those developers and let them know their widgets aren't working correctly.

Does not matter which one you use. Stock or 3rd party.
But I think I found the culprit, it is the calendar. So if I have something put in the calendar for that day it trys to pull that info into the alarm(even though I don't have any alarms set).

Example: yesterday (Which was Sunday) I had camera operations at 7am and then a meeting at 6pm. So on Saturday I had zero alarms set and nothing going on in calendar, so my alarm was showing in widget 6:55am. (But no alarm went off since that time came from calendar and not alarms setting.) So than after 7am passed my alarm showed in widget 5:55pm(again no alarm sounded cause it was not really a alarm but pulled from the calendar.)
So now since nothing is in my calendar after 6pm Sunday and that time passed, it now shows 4:15am alarm for Monday in widget which is a actual alarm setting.(Which of course sounded like it should)

Aha! So it sounds like what we thought at first was an "alarm" is actually a Calendar event reminder. Do you typically set notification reminders for calendar events?

Typically, in a clock widget, an alarm would be shown with a little alarm clock icon associated with it. If you set an alarm, do you see it show up in the widget with that alarm clock icon?

Yes it shows up with a little Alarm clock.
But this is what is now throwing me off is in calendar, I am not setting up reminders. All I am doing is like writing on a paper calendar appointment 7am.
I can see were you can set reminders too when I enter the info for whatever appointments I have but I don't use them.
I found a way to exclude all day events in calendar so those now don't effect the alarm, just have not found a way to exclude events that have a time Frame (ex: meeting at 7am)

Do those calendar event reminders in the widget actually make a notification sound when the event time arrives? Or does it just pass by? It might just be showing you your next event, without any associated audible notification.

They just pass by with no sound. Buy I am thinking the same thing.

I've seen clock/calendar/weather widgets that give you the option not to include any calendar events at all, so see if that's an option in the app's settings.

I have an alarm question and didn't want to start a new thread but my husbands alarm has been going off with no sound and it's turned up. Today I woke up and saw he was late getting up and when I woke him up he said the alarm didn't go off he never heard it but it went off and went into snooze mode on it's own. This happened twice this week already. I did tell him to set 2 alarms a little bit apart to make sure he's up cause he's been having to get up real early for work this week.

Thanks!

Stock alarm app ? You can try resetting it by clearing its data and force stop it and see if this reset gets it going again.

Can you confirm that the alarm actually sounded but he just didn't hear it before it automatically snoozed? Is it a preinstalled alarm tone that was selected, or a custom one?
