	<p>
		Day 4:
	</p>
	<p>
		The tablet is now out of my hands and out of my hair.
		I had to take two trips to the MetroPCS store due to not having brought my micro$a[SD] cards with me the first time, but returning it was easier than I thought it would be.
		One of the issues I complained about was that there was no way to backup the tablets a day without a Google account.
		She thought that it was possible to back up to an SD card, but I didn&apos;t have my phone on me the first time and I did not want to buy a new one in store.
		we tried using me micro$a[SD] card from my Replicant device, but I had forgotten that Android does not play well with micro$a[SD] cards that are formatted as ext4.
		There were a number of issues I pointed out, most of them having to do with the fact that without a Google account and without root access many basic essential tasks could not be performed.
	</p>
	<p>
		After a few attempts to guess my Straight Talk $a[SIM] card&apos;s default $a[PIN], I found it to be 1234.
		According to the Internet, AT&amp;T-based $a[SIM] cards typically use the $a[PIN] <code>1111</code>, while T-Mobile based send cards tend to use instead the default pin <code>0000</code> or <code>1234</code>.
	</p>
	<p>
		When setting up my MetroPCS account two days ago, I was required to choose an eight digit $a[PIN].
		While I&apos;m no longer a MetroPCS customer, that has had a lasting effect on my use of $a[PIN]s.
		I used to use a five-digit $a[PIN], but now it is up to seven digits.
