anyone feel heating on phone when using calls?

This is quite normal for smartphone nowadays.

eveything is good with this phone, sound, camera, display, all is good
but i fould battery drain extremely fast, one hour can finish 50 percent of power wor
i bought second hand
is there any way can cure?
posiblility phone problem or battery problem?
i dun seem battery got gemuk

Battery drain fast can be many factors.
Your phone running stock ROM or custom ROM? Some custom ROM's battery life not so good.
What's your phone setting? If you set everything in maximum (brightness, live wallpaper, etc), sure the battery drain more faster.
Any app running background while in sleep mode? Check what app drain more battery from setting page. Study your battery drain from app first, then decide the solution.

Use this method to test your battery drain. Charge your phone to 100%, then leave your phone in sleep mode for 2 or 3 hours. Check your battery percentage after 2 or 3 hours, if battery percentage around 96-98%, the battery drain consider quite normal. If battery percentage drop more than 10-15%, then battery drain too fast, go to setting page and look the battery status, check which app drain most battery.

Would like to ask , does flashing rom has any effects on WiFi signal receiving ?
I posted about WiFi problems back on few pages , it really pisses me off as the signal sometimes may receive(one bar, the dot) or two and then its gone .
Tried alot of ways and could not find any solutions to it . Even checked on xda forums , some people said that its the WiFi module that Sony used us cheap , no quality . Zzzzz
I'd even compared iPhone5 with my Arc S when receiving WiFi signal , Arc S could receive only one or two bars . For iPhone it could receive easily without disconnecting . Next , I even did a comparison between Samsung Galaxy Ace , WiFi signal still much better than Arc S as it does not disconnect easily .
Any solutions ? Else I'm gonna change this phone to Samsung .

What ROM and baseband are you using now...never happen to me.......
And sometime it maybe your router frequency setting...

I'm using Android Ver 2.3.4
Baseband version 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-64

reporting in, i already reformat and reset my phone, why still sux battery drain in two hours? for 3g or even wifi?

Use my method mentioned above, charge phone until 100% and unplug from power supply, then leave it in sleep mode for 2-3 hours. (DON'T turn on screen or use the phone at all during sleep mode)
After 2-3 hours, please screen capture on battery status something like this (if activities more than 1 page, scoll down and screen capture activities below):-

From battery status screen, you know which activity drain most of battery. For my case, you can see after 2 hours+ in sleep mode, the battery drain about 2%. This means battery and firmware work fine and normal, so if battery drain fast is purely from usage pattern.

Please screen capture your phone firmware too like this:-

You need provide more information before members here can provide more appropriate solution. Battery drain very depend on your usage pattern. If you turn on screen every 5 min, automatic upload data at background through WIFI/3G, play HD game, etc.. All these activities will drain your battery faster.

how to screen capture?

What is your phone firmware?

If your phone running GB, then press and hold "Power" button for 2-3 sec, a screen will pop out, select "screen capture" to capture a screen.

If your phone running ICS, then press "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons at same time to capture a screen. This one a bit hard, timing very important, press both buttons at same time, if press either one button faster than another one, it won't trigger screen capture.

This thread is getting way too quiet lately.
