Samsung Camera Manager App for Android
All this app does is show a message box that says "You must install Samsung Accessory Service. Install Now?" Samsung's docs suggest that in order to connect my 2015 Samsung Galaxy 6S active smartphone to my Samsung NX-1 camera I needed this app. But when I run the app it says I need to download another app "Samsung Accessory Service". When I click the button to take me to that download nothing happens. When I look it up in the Google Play, it won't download because Google Play says, "Your device isn't compatible with this version". I have the latest OS (5.1.1) that my service provider (AT&T) allows me to download to my phone (without jailbreaking) and this phone hardware is just one year old. I want access to the great features of my phone and my camera but the chain is totally broken at the moment. I suggest that Samsung package all of the needed components into one app so that I don't have to download 5-10 apps just to get one feature.
This app worked great until I did a recent update with my Galaxy S7. Now this app doesn't even open amymore. It's been three weeks since this update. Still not working. I even tried resetting my phone back to factory settings. Still doesn't work. Happy with my NX500. Unhappy the app is no longer working and the developer still hasn't don't anything to fix it.
Nfc does not start this app; instalation asks to disable security features. Even the fact that this app is necessary to get photos from camera is stupid - normal share via Bluetooth should be possible
my android is latest ver 6.0.1 bt still giv me msg: must down samsung App service nd wn try 2 install it its gv this msg: this app is nt avalble 4 ur device...good camera poor sevice
Every time a new version of android this app stops working for months and months. I know you've binned off the nx range that I've spent thousands on. But don't bin off your customers too.
Everything works perfectly on older phones. However when I connect to my lgg5 the remoteview and everything is fine, but I cannot transfer images at all. Of the wireless features, that was the most wanted for me personally.
Can't connect via bluetooth on asus zenfone max android marshmallow, please fix these issue. Really need the app so bad. From nx500
It said is compatible with samsung S4mini and I got it installed but as soon as attemted to run it, it requested Samsung Accesory Service app to be installed as well. It is NOT compatible and thus I cannot manage my NX1 with a phone that is supposed to be compatible!!! very poor versioning management rendering great products unusable.
This app only allows you to transfer the latest 1000 pictures from the camera to phone. No option to select which 1000 pictures. So if you have more pictures on camera then you are out of luck. SAMSUNG, please fix this limit. We do take more than 1000 pictures you know. Fix this limit and we will like your products more!
Normally I had to try multiple different methods to getting my nx500 to connect but now since the latest android os update it just won't connect anymore! Sigh
Used to work, doesn't any more. I know you've abandoned the camera market but you need to support yourexisting owners.
Bluetooth works with my NX1 but not wifi: "Poor connection" in my a$$ !¿? They are under 10" apart¡ Tried 2 other 6.0 phones and same thing... Samsung you have massive amounts of money and resources. Please fix this.
Doesn't work with Android Nougat. Same thing as last year. Took them months to update the app for Marshmallow. We probably won't see an update here, or if it comes the new version of Android has already been announced and we will have the very same problem again when we update to latest Android. Shame on you Samsung. I've "invested" well over €5.000 in you're camera equipment! Worst "deal" in my life so far!
Stopped work when I connect Samsung NX500. Please fix it. I can use it right now
Used to be a great app, was able to xfer pics on the go. After nougat update the app continually crashes, and when it does load, it will not longer connect.
Can't connect to Samsung NX500. I updated the firmware in camera and software on mobile. I did exactly what the instructions said. I have a Oukitel K6000 Pro mobile phone. Samsung needs to fix this issue fast or they will lose customers.
It' stopped working eversince I updated to Nougat. Please fix this since I use this app heavily with my NX500 .
Samsung, please keep up with android updates, as more and more phones are now on Nougat.
Please update this app. Not working on my S7 edge running Nougat. Some loyal fans are still using the NX1 after Samsung abandoned us!
Can't even get it to open on my phone so now I have to buy an sd card reader for my computer. Fail.
Now it doesn't work when I updated my s7 edge phone to nougat..we need an update with this app..thanks!
It used to work. On my S7 it won't open and on my LG V20 it keeps trying to a connect.
It doesnt work with android 7.0 both the mobilelink and the viewfinder would only show 'no images' or loading screen respectively. It was finee before the amdroid update PLS FIX
No longer works with Nougat update. keeps activating BT on my phone and telling me it's disconnected from my Samsung NX1 which is not even turned on ! uninstalling.
Had a strange bug with my nx500 (50-200 lens). When connection with app got lost, menu of camera disappeared and no one button worked. Even on-off. I had to pull battery for reset.
please samsung update this...i am running android 7.0 on my phone and it doesnt connect to my samsung nx1 camera..please update so it works...the screen is stuck on "please wait while streaming"
Doesn't work with Android 7. Dear Samsung: please update this app!
Hi samsung.. i really liked this app on my s7 marshmallow, but after updatin to nougat it doesnt work anymore.. hoping for a fix...
Used to be 5stars, but after upgrade on my galaxy s7 to Android 7, the apps does now even launch. Please add support to Android 7.
This software is complete rubbish and Samsung should be embarrassed for releasing it
Why does a camera transfer app need to make calls from my phone and access to my contacts?
It keeps telling me I need Samsung accessory service but when I try to download it says not available for this device. I have the note 4. I would like to give it 5 stars. I miss my nx 500 not connecting to my phone. Please help!
It installs, but does not connect via Bluetooth or wifi on nexus 6p running marshmallow. Guess I'll go try it on an outdated tablet that's lying about.... Update. Camera manager wasn't available for the tablet... So I messed with phone and finally got it to work. Issue seemed to be a permission that didn't pop up on phone, and I had to update the camera body firmware.
Still not working on sm-t320. A screen flashes briefly then disappears, same as before. And of course the Tab Pro 8.4 is stuck at 4.4 forever. An abandoned tablet and camera
Won't work on Android Lollipop
Thank you for fixing the connection with Android Marshmallow devices. Much appreciated!
It takes forever to connect, tried Galaxy and Huawei unable to connect, camera appears on my phone and my phone appears on the camera but they wont connect
Transferring photos without this is a huge hassle, thank you for bringing it back
Works well with my NX500 again, thank you!

Update- Bought a galaxy s7 and the app worked great. Now doesnt work with Android 7- nougat. Developer doesn't respond. Sure glad I bought the Samsung wifi camera.*** Wouldn't work after update. Worked ok a few months ago. I have an LG G3 and NX500. Also tried on G4. Updated the app and installed the accessory service app it asks you to install. Also updated the camera firmware which was available around May 15, 2016. When I connect the phone to the camera's wifi, it would automatically disconnect and turn off my wifi. Someone suggested installing wifi optimizer. I did and it worked fine until Android updates recently. Now it doesn't work again.
