So I searched on google how to sync only "My Contacts" instead of "All Contacts" and it pulled up some threads for the HTC Hero. This one had a solution...
"Now I think I've got it!
"People" - I see you mean the picture of the people.
"Groups" - Yes, I see it says "Groups" at the top of the screen.
"Menu" - Yes, now when in this screen, I click on the "Menu" button.
"Sync Groups" - Yes, now I click on the "Sync Groups" button.
All list appears as follows:
1) Sync All contacts
2) My Contacts
3) Group Name #1
4) Group Name #2
5) Group Name #3
etc.
Because "Sync All contacts" was checked, all below were checked.
I de-selected "Sync All contacts"
I selected "My Contacts" as the only one to be checked.
Since "My contacts" has all the contacts I want to be sync'd, I left this one as the only one to be checked.
I think the problem is now resolved.
Mission Accomplished."
Problem is, when I follow these steps and press menu while in groups, there is no "Sync Contacts" option. Only "Add Group" and "Delete Groups".
Anyone have a solution to this?

I was wondering is there anyway i can delete duplicate contacts without doing them one by one? My contact get copied every time i flash my phone or install a theme, now i have like 7 of each contact.
Do it online on a computer(using gmail).
How?
How do i do that?
After you login into gmail, click on "Contacts" in the left nav, and then make sure "My Contacts" is selected. You can select contacts you want to delete and then click on "Delete Contacts" on the right side of the screen.
After this, next time the phone syncs, your contacts should be removed.
ok
ok thanks it worked
Hello,
When syncing my contact, gmail syncs the "All contacts" category. I used to use the Google Sync thought ActiveSync on my Touch HD: it was nicely using the "My Contacts" category to sync.
How can I have my Hero to sync the "My Contacts" category ?
Regards
try this
open the people app > groups > menu > sync groups and then deselect all contacts.
Thanks a lot that done it
I have an eris. Maybe I am missing something but it is syncing over 800 contacts and I have no way of telling it to ONLY sync a specific group. Did this option disappear or is this a bug?
thanks

- Menu
- View
Uncheck "Show auto Gmail contacts"

This works but doesn't allow you to only sync contacts that are in the "Phone_Contacts" group, for instance. In 1.5 you could select which groups from your google contacts to sync to the phone, but now I think that option is gone.
I have a very frustrating problem with my contacts.
I want to display only the contacts from 2 of my 10 accounts, but everytime I go to "Contacts to Display" -> Custom list, the phone defaults back to "All Contacts". This is very annyoing and frustrating.
Pl help.
Thanks.
New contact keep staying in "Local" and not sync to my Google account.
When I sync from "Setting > Account > ", it shows "Synced", but contact not actually there.
"Google Contact Sync" also has "Contact permission".
Can anyone help please?
Edit: new contact save to "[email protected]_local.com" - is this a spy or something?

When you create a new contact, at the top there is a drop down selection... It lets you choose: Google / Phone / SIM
Make sure "Google" is chosen. I was doing the same thing a few weeks ago after I upgraded and couldn't find any of my new contacts, then realized I was saving them to my SIM by default, and I had 7 new SIM contacts. I edited them and moved them to "Google" and they are now sync'd with my Google account.
So true. It's really hard to see it on top of the "Name"
