title: HTC autostart behavior
body: <p>I have a strange problem with an HTC Desire, Android 2.2 and 2.3, Vodafone brand. My app consists of several activities and one sticky service. The service is launched on behalf of the main activity. In order to allow autostart, I'm following the usual autostart pattern (acting upon the <code>BOOT_COMPLETED</code> broadcast).</p>
  
  <p>Now the situation on the HTC is as follows: After system boot the app is getting the broadcast and decides to NOT autostart. Several seconds later the app starts normally, although it isn't me, who launches the beast. This happens only if the app was active during the last power off phase. </p>
  
  <p>So my autostart settings is not recognized, the HTC seems to launch any app with a sticky service, which is active on power down. I have double checked it with the "Music" app. Launch it, check in running services (you'll find it), reboot, it will be active again. Stop it, reboot, it is off.</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody confirm?</p>
