I received the Android 9.0 Pie update today. I have a Samsung Note 8. My phone is in night mode but night mode is not turned on. Calendar is dark, Messages is dark calculator is dark.., I do not like it! I want things lighter. I have looked every where for help. I try to turn on night mode and it says this function will not work with High Contrast Text. I have looked everywhere to change that. I have default settings. Has anyone else had this problem?
 
Reboot your phone first and see if that fixes anything.

If not, then
Turn off High Contrast Fonts. Then try and see it you can turn off night mode.

I have a Samsung theme installed. I have rebooted my phone. I cannot find anything about high contrast text. Night mode setting is off, it wont let me turn it on. That's what is so weird, my phone is on night mode but it's not turned on.
Thank you for your replies.

I just got the update on my Note 8 as well. (As you can see, I didn't see ocnbreeze's post because I was up late updating the phone LOL)

I was playing around w/the night mode and the high contrast font. I don't see high contrast text.

To get to high contrast font:

Settings>Accessibility>Visibility enhancements>High Contrast fonts

All the other high contrast settings are there

Which theme do you have installed? Was it installed prior to the Pie update?

I have looked in every menu, setting everywhere... I cannot find high contrast fonts. Where you told me to look, I have been here a hundred times. I see high contrast keyboard. All settings here are turned off.
Thank you!
 
You dont see this in your phone settings?

Go to Settings>Accessibility> Visibility enhancements

Are you on T-Mobile?

Not sure what else to do from here since all your high contrast settings are off.

I wonder if that theme is affecting anything?? It shouldn't but you never know.

Have you tried going back to the original stock theme and then rebooting and see what happens.

I have a screenshot posted. It is not on there.
I just reset my settings. I'm off night mode. YAY!
But I have to connect my bluetooth stuff, wifi, etc.
But! I'm not stuck on night mode!!! Woohoo!

Glad you at least got out of night mode.
I'm just wondering why the high contrast font setting does not show though
 
Weird cuz on my note 8 with pie the option is there.

Maybe your update to pie got screwed up somehow. You might want to think about a factory reset.
