Phone has been awake all the time
As you can see in the graph, your phone has been awake all the time, you might have an open aplication that is using the CPU, i suggest you to see if you can check for that and close the app
Other battery saving tips:
Lower your brightness
Turn off WiFi as well as Bluetooth, and GPS
open up your dialer and input this *#9900# and then disable fast dormancy (Big battery boost!, also fast dormancy is useless so dont worry)
---Don´t forget to hit the thanks button if this helped you

so how about mediaserver?
I don't know what is that .how to close?

I too found that Maps was eating away on my battery so i just froze it in Titanium Backup and have seen a noticeable increase in battery life.
There's an insane amount of bloatware packaged with the S2, and for some reason they have certain programs running all the time, eating away at your battery.
As suggested above, freeze it with Titanium. And if you haven't already, check out the APK List [search for it], which will help you decide what bloatware to uninstall, if you haven't already.
Sorry four my ignorance but I need to be rooted right? Cools you give a noob a nice tutorial to root the phone?

From this screenshot everything seems normal. Your batterie is almost full, so from this point of view it's normal that it eats up 14% of the total.

Read, read, and then read some more, before you do anything. Try and make sure everything is in order before you go through with the process.
Good luck :]

Why would out be normal to eat up 14% of my battery if out isn't even on?

Ok! Rooted in about 10 seconds eheh. Bought titanium pro and froze maps. Uninstalled crappy samsung bloatware and hopefully tomorrow i'll see a battery improvement. Thanks again for all the help.
You're most welcome. Glad to hear everything went well.
Turn off wireless networks location tracking and Maps' battery use will go down.
Also folks in case you haven't seen this,highly recommended.

Because you say this:

And so far as I can tell your batterie is almost full. The 14% is relative, it is based on the amount of juize already used. Based only on this screenshot I don't see a problem.
If you never had maps opened and running in the first place then that's a different situation then the one your prescribed.

ODEXed files separate system files into two different files -- .apk/.jar, and a .odex file. Basically, having it split into two separate files makes it a little harder to theme and make intricate edits to the source code. However, under normal usage, it's way faster and smoother.
Think of a PDF instead of a Word Document. You can look at the PDF much faster and get the information you need, but you can't really edit them.
Looks like a good solid rom! Welcome a aboard!

How is the battery life???
I'm getting average a day with average use on other roms. Some vary. I have no service at school. Anyone have an idea what modem I should use that doesn't drain when there is no signal or do I have to stick with airplane mode?

If you have no service in an area then put your phone into airplane mode. At my school, I get service because there's windows in every class room. So far the battery for me has been outstanding. KH7 is in my opinion, the best modem for the phone as far as reception and battery. KK6 seems a little worse.
But you're going to have to see.
Thanks. I have stayed on KH7. I'm definitely gonna try out this rom most likely.

Little question about battery!

Hi guys, I wanted to know if, with this rom + kernel combination, my battery is good and, possibly, to know which applications kill it.
So I have to go on settings/about phone/battery use, right? And how can I see which apps kill the battery? Because here I see only cell standby, phone idle and display...And how can I know if these percentages are too high? thanks
Basically, the apps that kill android's battery are the ones which have wakelocks."Battery use" in settings won't help you see what apps aren't letting the phone to go to deep sleep, but you can see how much time your phone didn't sleep.You can use betterbatery status to see what apps are sucking your battery life.Example:facebook xD

Exactly. Pretty much any social networking app, eg Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc, that runs in the background even after being "killed" will eat up your battery.
Thanks everyone
Probably I'm the only person all over the world which doesn't use facebook or any other social network, so I can be relaxed

You don't actually use it. You mostly read and interpret the data it stores on what uses the most battery life and then you act if you want on those processes.
The app begins to store data as soon as you unplug your phone so the best way to see how it works first hand is to let it run a day or as long as it takes for the battery to go down (I have heard of some o1 users that need to recharge their phone after 3-4 days of use) and just change the first roll down option. You'll figure out what uses the most battery.

[Q] Suspend_backoff wakelock on Wifi

After flashing CM10.1, I have been getting the wakelock suspend_backoff while on wifi. This is after disabling Wifi Optimizations under "Wifi Settings > Advanced"
I know it's from wifi, because it is not present with wifi off or with 4g (only) on. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure it's caused by an app not releasing the wakelock. You could try watching what apps are using WiFi data and start disabling them to try to eliminate it... Other than that, not sure how to proceed.

Can anyone help speeding things up a bit?

Hi there! I'm having some doubts about the phone, switching between apps forces app refresh, even if I switch only for a couple of seconds. If I was filling up a form and had to check something in another app (let's say a bank app), everything I completed resets itself. If I was using a browser, leave it for a couple of seconds, come back, it refreshes the website (spending data and time). Any way to make it better? A really fast phone but this is bothering me.
Here is a video I recorded to show what I mean.
https://youtu.be/b_wrBgJrS4M
Tried limiting 4 background process as someone suggested me but it didn't change behavior.
The phone is a Leeco Le Max 2, android version MIUI .14
Any ideas?
Thanks!

U have not to limit the background process as it will close all ur opened apps.
Or
