We want to resolve your issue as quickly as possible! The more information you provide up front, the faster our team can diagnose and fix your problem. Taking a few extra minutes to gather this information typically saves hours of back and forth troubleshooting later. This guide will help you gather the right details to get your issue resolved in the shortest time possible.

1. Essential Information to Include

  • Device serial number - This helps us identify your specific device and its history

  • Configuration name - The ManageXR configuration currently applied to your device

  • Organization name - Your ManageXR organization/account name

  • When the issue first occurred - Date and approximate time

  • Screenshots or videos of the issue.

Where to find this: You can locate your device serial number in the ManageXR console under your device list, or > device list > drill down into a device > click "Device Information".

2. ManageXR Logs

See this article for how to retrieve ManageXR logs. These logs contain detailed technical information that helps us quickly identify the root cause of most issues.

3. Additional Device Information (If logs aren't available)

If you cannot access the device logs, please provide:

  • Device model (e.g., Meta Quest 2, Pico 4 Enterprise, HTC Vive Focus 3)

  • Firmware/OS version - Found in ManageXR device settings

  • ManageXR app version - Check the app info in your device settings

  • Current device status in ManageXR console (if visible)

4. Detailed Problem Description

Help us understand exactly what's happening:

  • Clear description of the problem you're experiencing

  • What you expected to happen vs. what actually happened

  • Error messages - Include exact text of any error messages (screenshots are helpful)

  • Impact - How is this affecting your operations?

5. Exact Steps to Reproduce

Provide a step-by-step walkthrough:

  1. List each action you took leading up to the problem

  2. Include any specific apps, settings, or configurations involved

  3. Note if the issue happens consistently or intermittently

  4. Mention if the problem occurs on multiple devices or just one

Why This Information Helps Us Help You

Serial numbers and configurations allow us to check your device's history, previous configurations, and identify any account-specific settings that might be causing issues.

Device Setup Tool logs contain detailed diagnostic information that often reveals the exact cause of problems, allowing our engineers to provide targeted solutions immediately.

Detailed reproduction steps help us recreate the issue in our testing environment, ensuring we can verify the fix before sending it to you.

Complete device information helps us understand your environment and suggest the most appropriate solutions for your specific setup.


Important: Always Use Official Support Channels

Please do not send bug reports or requests directly to individual team members or group email threads. Doing so will delay your response time, as those messages will not enter our support system or be prioritized for investigation. Submitting through official channels ensures:

  • Your issue is immediately logged and assigned to the right specialist.

  • You receive the fastest possible resolution as we're able to work directly with our engineering team to help triage, diagnose, and report back, all in one ticket.

  • Progress and communication are tracked in one place.

To ensure your issue is triaged quickly and tracked properly, please submit all support requests through ManageXR’s dedicated support channels:

  • Web: While logged into ManageXR, click the chat bubble to submit your request.
