If you are on a call does the sig indicator improve?

This is correct. Verizon (and maybe Alltel) phones even have dual signal indicators...1 for EVDO and one for 1x. Sprint has chosen to use just one signal indicator.
Voice is exclusively on 1x, and every tower has 1x. Not every Sprint tower has EVDO. I get a terrible EVDO signal at home, but 1x is fine. Oh well.
