Id answer Sandbox first. If you didn't give it a full charge this might be it. IF you didn't id drain the battery all the way ... re-charge to 100% then test it out.
Did you restore from a backup? Was the backup from a jailbroken phone? I imagine a restore and then setting up as a new phone will fix this problem if it persists.
I can't see a backup really causing THAT many issues. I have been JB since iOS 4 basically and upgraded to iOS 5 and restored from backup of my JB 4.3.3 zero issues. I can't see a JB backup causing a insane battery drain and overheating.
Sounds like bad hardware. Get it replaced.
My 4S percentage dropped like a rock as I downloaded all my apps today over WiFi and it got quite hot in the process...but not as bad as you're describing.

I did charge it up as I waited three hours to activate it. And I did use a backup from iCloud but it wasn't a JB backup.
I just did a reset back to factory settings and set it up as a new phone. Will see if it helps and decide if I want to take it back tomorrow.

Sounds like maybe a bad battery. Mine got really warm earlier when I first connected it to iTunes and did a sync. After that though, it's been cool and the battery hasn't dropped by much at all. And I've been web browsing on it for quite a bit.
Are you friggen serious? I have ... HAVE .. Since iOS 4 and have uh never had an issue.
Thx for playing
If you restored from an iCloud backup your phone re-downloaded all the apps you had installed on the backed-up phone all at once from the AppStore. Depending on how many apps you had this could've taken a really long time/drained a lot of battery life. Took my phone a good hour for two pages of apps after I restored from my iCloud backup.
Took it to the apple store, they ran their diagnostics on it and said that there was something wrong with it, wasnt giving them any readings at all. Replaced in on the spot. New one is not getting no where near as hot and doesnt take as long to find a signal either (the old one would take 3-4 minutes to find a cell signal while my wifes white would find one in less then 5 secs).
This is why I buy apple products, doesnt work? March right down to the store and dont even need to demand a new one, they replace it immediately.

Are you guys sure you just didn't take the protective film off? The phone can't breathe with it and it gets hot and kills the battery.
