Can't get stock android dialer app back to light mode...

[amajamar]

Over the past week, I upgraded to 10, July update and then began noticing that the stock android dialer was stuck in dark mode. Really oddly, the favorites, recents, contacts, and voicemail page are in light mode, and the app setting is in light mode, but when I dial any number the display turns to dark mode. I have light mode set as default, except when in battery saver mode, and have toggled the "override force-dark" mode in developer options back and forth, but still the same outcome. I have reverted to the 46.0.301643300 phone app from a newer version, but that did not help. I feel like I am looking in the wrong place for a switch, but can't figure it out. My wife has the same phone and her dialer is in light mode... BTW these are direct from Google phones, not Verizon version, and I am stock rooted with Magisk, no other mods going on...

Any thoughts?

What actually is the dialer app? I froze the google "phone" app, and when I use my other dialer app to dial a number, the actual phone dialer still is functional. How can the phone dial with the dialer app frozen? Which is leading me to ask what actually dials, because this is what is stuck in dark mode. This is more than annoying, as I cannot see this screen during bright daylight. There has to be some way to get back to light mode...

Somebody??

I think the dialer is in the contacts app.

Yes, I believe you are correct, but what is REALLY strange is that all the pages in the Contacts app are in light mode. ONLY the dialer screen (once a call is initiated, either incoming or outgoing) is dark. All other pages of the Contacts or Phone app are light...

Its driving me nuts...

Have you tried reverting then updating the contacts app, or wiping it?

Not the contacts app, but the Phone app, yes. I suppose I should do both...
