I had the same issue with 1.40 body firmware and Samsung Apps (Android 6.0) even couldn't find my cam with that FW version. Try to upgrade to 1.41 to use NX1 all connections, but don't forget that the latest 1.41 firmware has jumping exposure issues during shooting videos on NX1.

What do you do to avoid that?

The only way I found is to downgrade to 1.40 before any video project.

I've never heard about these jumping exposure issues. What is it?

Well, maybe I used the wrong term but it's an old story that was well discussed on EOSHD.com where this problem was called "exposure drift". This appears during the video recording any moving subjects in rather difficult light scenes even in M mode and with custom or fixed WB.

Example video: https://vimeo.com/116520230 (during 0:32-36 secs)

I met this drift during video recs with the latest 1.41 firmware and solved it only by using 1.40 firmware (with which we have mobile-app connection issues).

Ah, ok, that's odd. I've experienced this to some degree with all NX cameras I've owned. I thought it was just way it was.

Re: Wifi and Bluetooth connections

I really like my NX cameras and am thinking of acquiring more lenses (no discounts, here), but 3 things disappoint:

1- No real announcement of leaving cameras.

2-Poor follow-on support.  I can go on Canon, Olympus, Sony, Ricoh and research ancient cameras and find all the manuals, software, etc.

3-Of all OEMs, Samsung should have been the best at connectivity, one of the missing links of modern cameras and the OEMs wonder why smartphones are so popular.  I gave up trying with my cameras.

Re: Wifi and Bluetooth connections

Not sure if our problems are related. I have Samsung EC-WB350F digital camera. When I try to email a photo I get this message "Reconnect with the AP or ensure the AP is available ". I have previously sent photos via email without problems.   Can anyone explain what might be happening?  Thank you.

The email sharing feature has been disabled about 6 months ago. Basically Samsung has kept the servers live for 5 years and now it's over.
