Sounds like Sprint are blocking this functionality, I'm guessing because they sell it as an add-on for your plan. Try contacting Sprint for more information.

In order to get around this, I would guess you will need to use alternative hotspot software or maybe get a ROM with the vanilla version.

Yeah, sorry, but just because you rooted ur phone doesn't mean u automatically get hotspot unlocked. you need to download a hotspot .zip through recovery or download a rom that has it built in. just go to xda developers and search for hotspot mods for your model and android version. galaxynote2root.com is a good place that lists all of the roms for our phone. if u subscribe, dude will send u an email with the newest roms that have come out. he even has videos on how to download roms and other stuff.

Are you using FoxFi or the phones tethering capability? FoxFi gets around the Verizon block for me.

TrevEmod's wifi tether works real good. I've used that app for different phones. I should have mentioned the alternatives.

+1 on the TreveMod. Works like a friggin charm on all devices.
