Wifi and focus issues with NX1000

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing these issues;

I've been transferring photos from the nx1000 quite happily wirelessly via the samsung smart camera app on my note 3 and note 10.1 but a few days ago it stopped working.  When I try to connect it displays 'searching for camera' and occassionally finds it, only to stop connecting straight away.  If I search for the camera in my phone's wifi settings, it doesn't appear at all.

I was using firmware 1.14 so updated this to 1.15 to see if it resolved the problem. Unfortunately the issue is still there and now there's an added issue - manual focus assist no longer works.  Before I had the camera set up to autofocus but then to be able to adjust the focus using the focus ring whilst the shutter is half pressed.  This no longer works despite the setting being enabled.

Do you think this is a firmware issue and if so is it possible to revert to a previous firmware?  I've tried loading the original firmware onto the SD card but in device information the 'update firmware' button is greyed out.

Any help would be most appreciated as it's a great camera, but I can't do without these 2 features.
