Has anyone solved the managed device error. Something went wrong

When you go to devices and then manage device, one of my iPhones quickly shows info  and immediately switches to something went wrong. It looks like it’s probably some kind of a Comcast software bug, but has anyone been able to get it corrected?

Hello, @wpaulo thank you for creating a post over Xfinity Forums. You've contacted the right place for assistance, and wanted to see if your still experiencing issues with managing your devices. Based on the information provided, it sounds like you are using the Xfinity App, is that correct? 

- If so have you checked to make sure the App is on the most recent update?
- Is your iPhone on the most recent update?
- Do you experience the issue when trying to manage devices when logging in directly online or using a different device?

I’ve been with Xfinity Mobile since almost the beginning. The device I have the problem with is an iPhone 15 Pro.  I added it  to a line that previously had a 13 mini and before that an SE second generation. I’ve talked to three or four agents about this and actually went to the Xfinity store. Everything seems to be correct and yes, I am using the Xfinity app. I think the issue has to do with the fact that in the past, if you change the device, the original purchased item still showed for billing, but the new device with the new IMEI would show when you clicked on it.  My 15 Pro shows on the line, but no ties to the previous items.  I’ve been very frustrated with this. I think it’s just a matter of an agent coding the system properly, but I haven’t been able to find anyone that can make this happen. The phone itself is working well. I’ve been thinking about updating through Xfinity Mobile, but I’ll probably have to try something else if I can’t get this resolved in the next three or four weeks

App is the latest and I get the same air using the website and going in through my iPad or my iMac. The phone I brought over is of course fully paid off.

if you would like some more details, let me know, and I can respond to you directly
