Maybe some screenshots from your router will help. On the router you want to forward to the internal ip. But it definitely sounds like something is not working.

Was your phone on wifi when you tested that or cellular?

Found out that my xfinity router doesn't support port forwarding
Had to call them to have it put in "bridge" mode and use my own router.
Will update late after I reconfig.this might help some others if they're having issues.

Update: It works!!!!
Had to call xfinity back a second time , still wasnt working.Got a more experienced Tech this time. Told me bridge was wrong way to go ,to complicated. He said xfinity router just needed to be setup right on their side. So after un-bridging and setting up on their side it started to port foward.I didnt have to change anything I had set up so made sense that it was a config problem and not B.S.
So if anyone is having problems and has xfinity call their techline and make sure they have config correct.
Thanks for everyones help.
