Default sync only my contacts, not all contacts on google

i thought i read somewhere how to do this, but after a ton of searching i couldn't find it... anyone know how to do this on the hero?

edit: found it on the sprint forum!

Open "People", go to the "Groups" Tab. Hit "Menu", then choose "Sync Groups". You can choose which groups to sync in there. I deselected "Sync All Contacts" and chose "My Contacts" instead.

i just got the sprint hero today as well...
i see your solution to go into groups and hit menu and choose "Sync Groups". i don't seem to have a choice for "Sync Groups". all i have is 'add group' or 'delete groups'??
any idea how i can fix that?

Just a note here...I had the same issue.

When you first activate your Google account on your brand new Hero (I have the newer Sprint one) it will take a while to give you the option of what groups you want to sync. Don't panic if you don't see it at first. Just give your phone a bit of time to get all it's **** in order!
