This problem is actually caused by the fact that some controls don't work with Background yet, I track this problem in #1674 , seems like this extends to Android as well. To fix this, please move the Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}" to the root Grid:

    <Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
        ...
    </Grid>

This should do it. If I remember correctly, UWP template uses it by default, and I removed it at some point when I was porting the project.
Thank you for all the work.

@MartinZikmund I am sorry but I have just noticed your post. Yes, I can confirm it is working now. I just need to make sure the parent control of each page has Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"

Glad to hear 👍. Hopefully this limitation will be removed soon as well.
