For the Google and Facebook accounts this is as easy as that: log into those accounts from a pc and change your passwords and delete the phone number entries.
To make sure that the account isn't already in use by someone else: check the mail accounts if you know all of these, mail forwarding and pop/imap access, filters etc. same goes for Facebook: disconnect the phone number, change password etc.
And hurry up if your phone hasn't been locked!

Thanks for the advice.
I have changed the passwords and blocked the SIM.

if you had other services connected with the phone (or apps on the phone) like twitter, google plus etc. it couldn't hurt to revoke access for them, too. Noone will be able to open or hack your Facebook or Google account from them but could probably do not-so-nice things (and hijack the services' accounts of course).

I don't know how do do with bluetooth
do you have a google account or an exchange account somewhere it's easier to use that in my opinion then you contacts will also be safely stored online.

Gmail.com setup an account
tattoo: settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > google - login with the newly created account from gmail.
after your contacts are synced, contacts copied to your gmail account (done automatically)
desire: do the same thing as tattoo - your contacts will be copied to desire. (done automatically)
If you have been using your google mail account on your tattoo then all you have to do is sign in with that same account on the desire and everything should be synced accross.

Can't sync contacts, no contact app?

Hi guys,
I have an unlocked Desire that I bought from ebay. I can't be certain if it's been factory unlocked or if someone along the way unlocked it. Regardless, it's not rooted, so it would have had to have been using an unlock code?
Anyway the issue that I have is that I can't sync my contacts. Most of my contacts have no phone numbers associated, except for a few which I guess it may have grabbed from FB, or ones that were on my SIM? My prev phone was a Magic, I never had this issue with it.
Either way, I have plenty of contacts that I can view through gmail that have numbers associated, that don't have them on my phone.
I also only have the people app, not the standard contacts app from google that should let me sync. Is that normal on the Sense run Desire? If so, how do I sync my contacts? I've been through accounts/sync and of course am signed in to my google account, so I don't know what the deal is?
Is there an issue, or am I just not syncing correctly? Is it some settings in my google account that I need to adjust online?
Thanks for any assistance guys.
*EDIT* so in the 30 seconds since I posted this, I signed out of my FB app, and back in, and then suddenly my google account started syncing and BLAM, there they are. Mods, please delete?

[Q] HTCsync Email and Calender problems

htc desire telstra, I get & read my emails on my phone - no problem, Was using imap and the only problem seemed calendar changes on phone didn't sync back to pc. PC to phone OK.
Changed to pop3 and sync with computer at the end of the day, emails disapear from phone and the emails that I read (opened) on phone don't appear in my Outlook inbox (when i send/recieve) & still calendar changes on phone dont sync back to pc.
Have tried other email clients on phone, no change.
running windows 7 pro 32bit
microsoft office enterprise 2007 sp2
HTCsync 3.0.5481
what do i do next?

Also which ROM?

deleting the accounts and re adding doesnt work.
email provider is google apps using gmail pop and smtp servers. on our own domain.
ROM is the stock Telstra (aust) android rom, latest update.
Worked on IMAP but it was slow retrieving emails.
with POP we have all sorts of problems.
why dont you try adding that account in the gmail app or use gmail activesync (google it for the settings)?
for the gmail app you can create labels which will take you straight to the account or account/label you want.
Or add your account to the email app using gmail active sync.
I use it the first way and it works like a charm.

does the app support custom domains?
ours isnt @gmail.com its @cscommunications.com.au but uses gmail servers
Yes it supports custom domains.
you can use default settings from the gmail app....
got the email on the gmail app and seems to be working okay.
Just left with the bloody calendar problem!
adding entry's on PC and syncing to phone works fine, they show up on phone, but editing or adding entry's on the phone will not sync the changes back to pc.
What do you guys recommend?
-Much Appreciated

[Q] Google mail account Sync is not happening

Hello All,
I am very much new to using HTC wildfire S as an android smart phone. I have purchased this an year ago,though.
I will come to the point with out much discussion.Your help is much appreciated in filing a bug against HTC Keyboard sense or wrong password authentication mechanism.
Step i followed:
1.Day before yesterday, I have rooted my phone and i have got all the data back again from recovery.
2.Once the phone is reset, it was prompting me to set up a new gmail account to perform syncing of contacts and mails.
3.I have given my old crenditals of gmail and the sync worked.
4.Today, I got a message from google that, my gmail account is being accessed from canada maliciously.So, it prompted me to reset my password along with SMS verification code.This made my gmail account login stronger. During this process, I have reset my gmail account password. ( the same account is being used by my htc wildfire S phone).
5.Now, my wildfire S is not able to recognize my new password to gmail account. Neither it recognizes my old password.
6.I have tried different key board input mechanisms to make sure that i am entering correct password.
7.Now, I am exhausted and thus i am writing this post.
Please help me.
I am suspecting as a bug in htc while syncing with gmail authentication servers.
I had faced similar problem a month ago while connecting to facebook from my HTC Wildfire S phone. My new gmail account works fine from the dolphin mini browser.But, it doesnot work from native gmail and facebook applications.
Regards,
Sriram
Tried with another gmail account.. Now it is working fine.
As I said in my previous post that, my original gmail account with which i had registered my mobile is still not working.
However, I have registered another gmail account to sync with contacts.With my second gmail account, I am able to sync the contacts from google servers.Also, with out a registered gmail account, i am unable to download apps from htc Appstore as well as Android Market place.
Now, I tried deleting my first gmail account, which is not working since the time i have changed its password.It says that you cannot remove the account as it is being used by other programs. Restore phone to default settings.
With out resetting my phone, How can i delete my original gmail account which is of no use.
Thanks and Regards,
Sriram

It never synced with the mail system. So basically I'm asking whether I can recover it from within the phone instead of syncing
Export your contacts to another Gmail account, log in with that and sync - job done!
If they didn't sync to an account your SOL. Sorry.

If you can access your uni mail in the Google Apps interface, maybe you can export your contacts there into .csv or .vcf. So you can import them in your main Google account or just locally on the phone via 3rd party Android app that imports contacts.
