Battery and signal strength on 7.1.1

[gmac1990]

I recently made the jump to 7.1.1 which has been really excellent and stable. I haven't been getting the best battery life with it though and my signal strength is consistently weak (even though the phone reflects 3/4 bars LTE most of the time). I am currently on project fi

I am not sure what's causing this buy is anyone else having similar experiences?

I had that problem. I flashed the 7.0 bootloader and radio and its better.

What kind of improvement did you see?

Its hard to say really. At first it seemed like it helped but now my phone is back to not being able to hold 4g in weaker areas. Just not as bad as the 7.1 radio. Its fast and easy to flash a different radio and bootloader. You dont even have to erase anything. U literally have nothing to lose. If your signal acts worse just flash back or try another radio/bootloader.
