You forgot to tell which Samsung app you are using on you phone. Samsung Smart Camera App is the one which supports NX3000 (version 3.5 is the newest), Samsung Camera Manager is for NX1 and NX500 only (it does not support older cameras like NX3000, NX30, NX300). But I'm afraid your problems are related to the Android version 7.0 on your phone, as Samsung Smart Camera App is quite old, built for Android versions 5.1 (Lollipop) and below, and hasn't received updates for a while.

Under Android 5.1 the app is working correctly, is able to connect and manage both my NX3000 and NX30 cameras.

Thanks for the reply,

I basically tried all the available apps from Samsung, including the Smart Camera App and the Samsung Camera Manager.

With both cameras and all apps tested, the only connection i was able to make is between the NX1000 and the stand alone MobileLink app, and managed to send files successfully.

So you think It's the Android's fault and not the camera's firmware?

I feel stupid for not trying the apps prior upgrading the firmware on the camera :\

I have a tendency to immediately update firmware to latest once I receive a gadget.
