I have enabled the dark mode in the settings for text message but it is still the bright white background. Doesn't seem to work.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thank you.

Maybe try a quick restart? Shouldn't need more than the flip of the switch.

That eliminated a possible cause. Hmmm.

Yes, I agree the switch alone should work but it doesn't and tried restarting as well. Didn't change anything.

The dark mode does work in settings that's why I don't understand why it doesn't work for the text message app.

Settings is always dark on the Z30.

How does the dark mode toggle work in your contacts and calendar apps?

Good point. Dark mode works in calendar & contacts, just not in text message.

Seems you have a gremlin. You will have to consider a clean install of the OS if it is really bothering you.

Yeah, I suspected the gremlin thing; I'll hang with this for a while, it is annoying as I do use the app late night.

Thanks for your time.

Update, since June 2019, under previous version-2129 I never got text messages to display in dark background. Since few days ago I autoloaded 3216 & it was a clean install but text messages are still in bright white back.

Does anyone actually have a dark background in text message?

Thanks.

Yes. But you have to enable dark mode in the HUB settings.

Hub > Three dots bottom right > Settings > Text Messages > find the dark mode toggle and flip it to the ON position.
Edit: Going upthread I see you've found the toggle already. It should turn dark if that toggle it activated.

Yes, I do have dark mode enabled, in both Hub/Text Message as well as in the dot-settings in text Message settings.

It doe not seem to work for me. Well, it has not worked for me yet. Quite interesting.

You need to reload the OS then.

If you haven't done so already, after enabling dark mode give your device a reboot first before reloading the OS as suggested above.

I just set the dark background again in Hub/Text Msg, it was already on the dark background I disabled And r enabled it and rebooted. Same, text messages are still in glaring white background.

It's weird. Could this be a Verizon thing? Are you people with dark background in text messages on the Z30, are you with Verizon? Just wondering.

To help verify, you could take out your SIM, disable/re-enable the switches then reboot and test again.
I have a Z30, but not on Verizon.

Thanks, I just tried that. Removed the Sim card, reset the Hub/Text Msg settings by de-selecting then re- selecting dark back ground, and rebooted.

Same. The switch in Hub settings for text Msg remains enabled for dark background, just that it is not in effect.

Very peculiar.

Back when I was a pesky Leaker, there were times when certain app functions didn't respond to settings input.

My solution would be to use either Sachesi or DBBT and sideload just the SMS bar file. If you know how, it's pretty easy once the science of it makes sense, give this a go. Not saying that it will work, those phones and that software are really old, but it would solve problems similar to the one you're having.

Appreciate that. I'll look into it.

Thanks.
