When you add a new contact in your Google Contacts through the web browser the contact is automatically added, by default, to the My contacts group.
The behavior was the same also on all smartphones I owned, including an LG Optimus One P500: whenever I added a new contact on the phone it was automatically added to the My contacts group.
This is a desired behavior because it lets you distinguish and clearly separate the contacts which you add, from the contacts which Gmail automatically adds to your contacts, in a special group called Other Contacts whenever you exchange some message with them.
This unfortunately doesn't happen with my LG G2 with the stock ROM: when I create a new contact on the phone, and choose to sync with my Google account, the contact is not automatically added to the My Contacts group but, quite confusingly, it is automatically added to the Other Contacts group. What's even worse, there seems to be no way to even manually add the new contact to the My Contacts group.
I think this is a major problem and I find it surprising no one has noticed it before. Am I missing something maybe?
If this is confirmed, how can I fix it? Is there a workaround to solve it?
