 Have had the same distribution (QT Moko 35) for a long time (around 1
 year) and changed nothing.
 
 Maybe the batterie? Maybe something inside the phone? Software or
 hardware?

I have had in the past with Om2008.9 the same problem (power drain and
hot device). In my case it was a run away proc. Check with top(1) the
CPU utilization.

Re: Very fast power drain, hot device

I had the problem in my N900 and what it turns out to be was that one of
the DBUS processes was getting stuck and consuming all the CPU all the time.
Use TOP to figure out CPU load for 1/5/15 mins and check out any of the
processes which are consuming high cpu percentage.

Thanks

Check for this, as well:

You can check current flowing to/out of the battery in NeoControl program. 
Normal number is IIRC ~30.
