[android-developers] GPS turned on automatically on some devices?

Hi,

my HTC users keep complaining that i don't turn off the GPS when they exit my Google Maps app. The emulator shows the GPS symbol when I start my app, but none of my test devices do (Samsung Galaxy S, SE Xperia Mini Pro).

I don't turn on the gps in the first place. And understood that I am not allowed to do it, even if i wanted to.

Here is my code:

onCreate:

locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);

and

protected void onPause() {

super.onPause();

locationManager.removeUpdates(this);

and 

@Override

protected void onResume() {

super.onResume();

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 10000, 10, this);

Anybody knows if HTC turns on GPS by default?

Greetings from foggy Zurich,
