I have the same phone. Yeah Sprint never intended for you to have that nice wifi feature for free when you bought the phone. Google/Samsung factory settings (not sure 2.3.5 maybe?) allowed that to work. Then an update rolled out that took away your free wifi. You pay the $10 for data access on your phone. It's always been $30 for hotspot usage. So you're really complaining about getting something you shouldn't have for free for x amount of months. Also before the update you were only able to use that wifi hotspot with 3g not 4g. Now if you pay you get 4g. But you just need to root your phone and get android wifi tether. It won't allow you to connect other mobile devices because it's an ad-hoc connection but works fine for pc's and works with 4g. Google's your friend. Put in some research and you'll be fine.
