I suggest having it so that the notification widget is the "Just the numbers" area, and then in the app translate some of the coding so it's formatted. I'm guessing Vince you're referring to the UARFCN number with that? The app could take that and show it like this:
Market: 0##
Site: ###
Sector: ##
Also, I think there is some number that is hex in Android and a normal number in iOS (or vice versa, can't remember). Maybe show both of those if it's a simple translation.
I agree with moving the Settings to its own area off the main screen. Have a gear button to take you to that screen.
