Does it squeak all the time or when it is hot outside?

I haven't had this problem on my yaris yet (just got it), but this happened alot on my echo sedan when it is hot outside. Even after changing the pads on rotors. The only thing that help this was adding a little bit of brake grease to the back of the pads.

The squeak is likely comming when the brake caliper piston puts pressure on the pad, not worn out pads.
