Help Wi-fi - Bluetooth mishap

On the first Android update after I bought the phone the only problem I noticed is that when I enter camera it takes at least 10sec to focus (no matter what I do) but I got used to that, especially because I'm not a photographer.
When I upgraded to 5.1.1 (2 days ago), a big problem appeared, one that I cannot look past :
I play music on bluetooth speakers at work and at home. Whenever I turn ON Wi-fi on my Note 4, Bluetooth automatically deactivates. Then I turn it back on, reconnect with my speaker, within a couple of seconds deactivates again. So as long as my wi-fi is ON, bluetooth won't be.

Please help me, is there any solution against this? This is a deal breaker for me.
 
Wow, that's a really odd issue. My Note 4 has the wonkiest Bluetooth binaries: it regularly forgets that I'm listening to music with Google Play Music with my BT headset. After even a brief pause, I have to unlock and open the phone, go Music, and manually hit Play again. Sometimes it won't pause, again because it forgets what it's doing. I haven't encountered a WiFi/BT disconnect. Maybe someone else can chime in with a proposed fix. What model Note 4 do you have?
 
Yes, I have tried many things. I also noticed that when I turn off the wi-fi, bluetooth comes ON by itself.
Other suggestions?
 
Update : I removed battery and SIM card and left it that way for about 30mins, after which I performed a Clear System Cache. Problem seemed to have disappeared.
Thanks for the help anyway.
