Just had a Random reboot and signal strength is unbelievable!!!

This is the first random reboot and I wasn't doing anything on the phone, it was just next to me at my desk when I felt it vibrate, I looked over and saw the INC reboot screen. I was pissed for a second thinking I was falling into the rando reboot issues but it turns out this was a good thing! Also should clarify that although my signal was apparently weak before I never had call quality issues or anything of that nature

maybe it was a super stealth update. :)

my call quality has always been perfect. even at home where service is far from being perfect.
