Re: Any idea on how I can get my Samsung NX300 up and running again?

Ok, it's not mechanical fault (there is a metal curtain that briefly covers the sensor when you shoot - it's not stuck over the sensor).

There are many possible issues, battery being one of them. We have just had another forum member suffer loose flat cable after a drop, etc. It's very difficult to determine the cause this way.

You may try testing the camera while it's on external power (just plug an USB cable from the charger). If that solves the hanging issue - it's most likely the faulty battery. If not - I would take it to a service. If there are no Samsung camera services, then generic one. If there are no such services - might try with smartphone service?

I doubt it's the mobile app's fault but maybe try re-flashing the firmware? Howto here: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/samsung-nx300-firmware-update,news-18783.html and links to firmwares here https://samsungnx.herokuapp.com
