The problem is that the Huawei P9 Android OS includes Phone Manager. The Power Manager kills applications unless you change the settings.

You must make sure that you change the settings in Power Manager so that it does not close selected applications.

Make sure that you change the setting “Do not close” to enabled for both the Pebble application AND Google Chrome.

What I tried and tested is that when I make sure that the “Do not close” setting is enabled for Google Chrome browser, my Pebble remains connected via Bluetooth (as long as it is in range).
