Did you install the update? iTunes should have told you about it.

Smartphones do often tend to be a bit more picky about signal than 'normal' phones. The problem is simply the number of things competing for the airwaves (i.e. wi-fi, bluetooth, GSM, 3G/HSDPA, some of them with two or more 'bands'). No idea if the iPhone4 has this problem, but turning off the ones you don't need might help.

As for getting warm, yes, they all do that. Though I wouldn't call it hot. Using the phone while charging it makes the problem worse. Check you don't have the screen brightness set too high (it's in Settings or General, can't remember which) as turning it down can help.
