How can I connect my Samsung NX1000 Camera to my Smartphone now?

Since Samsung Remote View Finder and Samsung Mobile Link Apps are already not available from Google Play Store, what mobile Application can now be used to connect my Samsung NX1000 Camera to my Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge)?

"Hi,

Here are the 2 apps you mentioned.

Mobile Link

Remote Viewfinder

Download them to a PC and then transfer them via USB to the phone. Remember where you downloaded them to in the phone.

Enable Unknown Sources setting in phone for app installation.

Use File Manager app (or equivalent) in phone to locate file(s) and tap to install them.

When both apps installed disable Unknown Sources setting"

"Hello! Glad to know you were able to get your NX1000 connected to your phone again.

In my case, I upgraded the firmware of my NX1000 to the latest version (1.15), so the solution to download the APKs for MobileLink and RemoteViewfinder did not work. My NX1000 would prompt me to download the Samsung SMART CAMERA App, but when I do, the app is unable to recognize my camera even with my phone connected to the camera's WiFi.

For those in the same situation as I am, here is what worked for me:

Download and install THIS version of the Samsung SMART CAMERA App (Version 1.1.9)Switch to WiFi mode on your NX1000.Choose which feature you want to use (MobileLink or Remote Viewfinder)Connect your phone to the WiFi of the cameraOpen the Samsung SMART CAMERA App and starting searching for camera

Then just follow the usual steps on either your camera screen or phone screen.

Your NX1000 should now be recognized by your phone, and you should now be able to use your WiFi features like before. Hope this helps!"

"Despite the disclaimer, Smart Camera app actually supports older cameras!

I tested Samsung Smart Camera v1.4.0 (in Feb 2020) with my Samsung NX1000 camera (from 2012) and firmware v1.15 and it works flawlessly. If it doesn't, choose an app on the camera, then go to your phone WiFi settings and manually connect to the camera WiFi, finally click on “Connect to Camera” in Samsung Smart Camera app on your phone.

No need to download version 1.1.9 which also has the same stupid disclaimer that it would only works with camera released after 2013."

"I was having the same connection issues where my camera and phone were not connecting despite the app finding the camera. Adriens post is on spot but here it is in 3 simple steps.

Go to wi-Fi settings on the camera and click on “Remote Viewfinder” featureGo to your Cellphones Wi-Fi and search for the cameras Wi-Fi (ex. AP_SSC_NX300etc.) and connect to it by tapping on it.Once connected open the Samsung Smart Camera App on your phone and it should connect.

If it fails, restart the app and repeat the steps again, do it fast enough so the app does not time out."
