NX300 problem with Manual lens and Remote Viewfinder

I recently bought a Samsung NX300 to be used primarily for astrophotography and need to attach it to telescope or manual lenses via adapter (That is already purchased too) and for critical focusing I need to see the view on a remote device for magnification etc. I did installed the Samsung's app for remote but can not see the view on Remote viewfinder as camera gives me "Attach Lens" error, though I am in Manual mode. Is there any way that I can control the camera minus AF function of lens from a remote device??? I am really disappointed as I heard a lot of good about Samsung's WiFi capabilities, not knowing  I would not be able to see the view on smart phone, tablet...
Anyone with experience or advise?
