Contacts app defaults back to All Contacts

Question

This is a long term frustration, I just searched a couple of combinations of keywords without finding a relevant thread, maybe not the right keywords used.
In any case, I have over 1700 total contacts, about two dozen groups in Address Book on the Mac. I sync via MobileMe which best I recall requires user to sync all contacts and groups, vs. only specific groups. I only need the 1100 contacts in one group on the iPhone.
But the gripe/question is why Contacts on the iPhone keeps setting itself back to All Contacts. I go into Contacts as an app, or via the phone, and am in the desired sub group, but later on after using the phone if I go back in there, it's jumped back up a level to All Contacts, with the resulting slower display and response times. I know I'm not inadvertently taking it back up there myself. I just need it to stay in that one group all the time.
A parallel question, off-topic a bit, would be how to sync only selected groups to MobileMe? or not possible at this time?
Thanks! Kudos!

I also have this problem since updating my iphone 5c to 8.3.1, except that I keep resetting the ringtones, and they appear to be set; and then when my phone rings, sometimes it is the previous text tone, or the original default ringtone, and sometimes it is the right ones I have set.   It doesn't correct itself until I power cycle the phone.... It's super annoying because it happens at least once a day... If anyone has a more permanent fix for this please let me know.
Thx
