That may be happening for a lot of reasons, but I had this error with the 20-50mm once, the problem was with the potentiometer that rotates along with zoom barrel movement. The only solution for my lens was replace the whole board as the potentiometer itself may be very hard to find. 
And there is the basics, update firmware for a fresh start, clean contacts...

Re: FIX NX2000

Well this subject is very personal, I prefer prime lenses over zoom lenses, but its not very convenient for the user, since you have to change lens any time you need a different focal length.

If you want the flexibility of zoom, I recommend getting the 18-55mm OIS, the Optical Image Stabilizer is very useful when you're shooting slower than 1/50 and for videos too.

For primes, the 16mm f2.4 is very good and is a great focal length for many situations. For portrait with a nice bokeh, the 45mm f1.8 does the job perfectly, even these days.
