interop tools for windows 10 mobile

This utility solved the AT&T hotspot problem on my unlocked 950 XL Windows Phone that results in the "It seems like you are trying to use data, but don't have a data package..." message.

There are multiple reports online with AT&T users having this issue with the 950 XL.  Be warned that this software is for advanced users and you can really mess things up if you don't know what you are doing!

The steps below are what fixed it for me:

1. Download the Interop Tools for Windows 10 Mobile and follow the instructions to get it installed: http://www.windowscentral.com/interop-tools-windows-10-mobile

2. Edit the registry settings as noted by user imbushuo Wang on the Windows Central forums here: http://forums.windowscentral.com/microsoft-lumia-950-xl/414723-mobile-hotspot-tethering-950xl.html
  • Open Interop Tools for Windows 10 Mobile. Find it in Settings > Extras.
  • Open registry editor and enter the following :
    Registry Hive: (select) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Registry Type: (select) String
    Registry Key Path: S
    ystem\ControlSet001\Services\icssvc\Settings
    Registry Value Name:
     EntitlementRequired
    Registry Value Data: 0
  • Tap Write Data
  • Type DedicatedConnections in Registry Value Name field
  • Tap Read Data
  • Clear out the Registry Value Data field (so it's empty)
  • Tap Write Data
  • Reboot your phone and try your Mobile Hotspot!

I would just like to thank you for posting this information. I just bought an expensive 950 unlocked phone from Microsoft, and I have never been able to tether with it. Following the steps you have outlined above solved my problem. It was extremely generous, kind, and helpful of you to post this. Thank you!

    Free...Really?

    Believe it or not, most commercially available software has a FREE twin!  (Or at least distant cousin!)
