Hi xda forum users...
I recently got cyanogenmod9 for my phone and the battery life is terrible.
Samsung galaxy gio
Moderate texting
Wifi on but turns off during sleep
No calls
No games
I really like cm9 but I also like battery life being longer

Ok I dont use ur phone so i am not sure if what i say might be accurate. From what i can see, ur phone was only supported my Samsung till android 2.3. Which probably means that your phone doesnt have a proper kernel for android 4.0.4 on which cm9 is based on. So probably the kernel being used isnt fully stable, hence ur battery life is terrible, I would suggest u stick to a gingerbread (android 2.3) ROM with a stable kernel to enjoy good battery life. It could also be that ur battery might actually be spoilt. Is there any slight bloating on ur battery?

The kernel which was compiled for the your phone might not be fully stable yet causing the battery drain. If there is a new version of that rom try updating to that and see if that fixes the problem.

Back in the day when the first leak 4.2.2 firmware was out, im so excited that i downloaded is ASAP and flash it, and its amazingly fast even with high ram usage and great battery life but has a few music player bugs, but when the second leak came out i flash it and even with no downloaded games it started to lag like hell. So i came back to stock 4.1.2. Which is a better leak from your own experience?.
??
I've been on latest stock for a while, but it became slower and slower during time, so I've decided to root and in give few ROMs a try. I've flashed OmniROM and Android Revolution, but my phone is still much slower and laggier in comparison to Galaxy SII (on neatrom) or Galaxy Nexus (on omnimetal). Even Galaxy S1 with latest CM works better.
I've also noticed that it takes very long for MMS to be send, perhaps it's somehow related?
Any ideas what else could I try? OmniROM and Android Revolution should be fast and snappy, right? What could be the problem then?
I've heard that some i9300 phones might have hardware defect that causes similar problems. Is that true?

Backup any data you need from internal sd card then format internal card this solves many issues with lag especially when you switch between alot of roms like I do.

try blekota s5 rom it's very fast and smooth it's based on archiport
GTI9300 will be faster if you flash aosp roms like cyanogen mod or paranoid android. Prepare to lose some samsung features tho and have some extra bugs.. the trade is worth it imho.

Or do a mega wipe. Its mean full wipe + wipe system and internal SD And flash a new ROM
I can vouch for the Revolution HD ROM
About a month ago I switched from the pre-installed T-Mobile ROM to Revolution HD 51.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) and I have no regrets. Compared to the T-Mobile Rom, it is extremely fast and with very light battery consumption. In addition, I have not yet encountered any bugs.
The Revolution HD ROM is so fast that I have now begun using the search feature in the dialer - before, it was just as slow to scroll with the alphabet and finding the contact as it was using the search function.
The battery consumption is incredible! With light usage, my battery goes down less than 0.8%/hour. Even with high usage (>1.5 hour talk, ~1 hour WiFi/mobile data internet, >3 hour Bluetooth hook-up to my car, a handful of written emails and >30m sudoku per 24 hours) I have not been using over 1.4%/hour. I have gone from recharging every two days to every three-four days! My record was 97 hours without a charge and still 18% juice left in the box.
I use GPS navigation once in a while in my car and that consumes a lot of battery, but then the device is always connected to power (I haven't gotten around to try GPS navigation without charging just to check the consumption on Revolution HD).
I am not a techie, so I have disabled background services very conservatively (I killed most social app stuff, but I let services with cryptic names be) and I am using the Lightning browser which is fast and very light. In the beginning, I had a bit of trouble with battery performance until I read that the Power Saving feature must always be on. With the T-mobile ROM, the screen was a battery hog even when set on auto, so I set it manually - on the Revolution HD ROM, the auto brightness works well and conserves battery. It should also be said that I live in an area with good signal reception and coverage is good in most places I go (in areas with low reception, the device will automatically increase the juice for the radio unit).
I am very excited about the Revolution HD ROM, but I cannot tell you how it performs if you do a lot of social networking stuff (I primarily use the phone for work).

One solution is to format the internal memory like @tallman43 suggested.
Another reason maybe extra heat on processors. Did you notice this or the temperature is normal?
You can try flashing a different kernel and see if it makes any difference.
MMS sending is more dependent on network speeds so it could be unrelated.

try neatrom Lite v75 full with boeffla kernel and if u can find archi profile (performance) and u could clock to 1700 on boeffla config....i am now on resurrection remix rom 4.4.2 and phone is fast as hell ..it has minor bugs tho..
u can try AOSP NeatROM v 5.8
very stable and smoth. u can get free ram 400mb++
My little sister has been using SGS2 (GT-I9100) For about 1,5 years now after I got myself an S5 so the phone is couple years old. Yesterday the phone started holding battery very poorly (see image below). I tried another batterry, factory resetting and dusting internals, no change. The phone seems to overheat at the left edge the most. Any tips?

You should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/app-fuelgaugetool-v2-0-t2262990 the phone must be rooted (if you need help with that MP me) then flash a custom rom , I recommend Revolution Rom as it is stock based great battery life, good performance, and its like an updated touchwiz version so it will look better

edit : How old its the battery ??
Well i'm technically new here (not in xda, but in the Galaxy S2 Community). I got a i9100 used a couple weeks ago. This was a dream come true for me because, since it was announced, i wanted this phone. And i'm not disappointed of my decision.
For a 4 years old device (a ETERNITY talking in phone years) it is JUST AMAZING. Battery life more than acceptable with the correct ROM, kernel and tweaks. Performance over the average. The only problem with it is the overheating when you use it, but it's not that big of a deal imo.
Now, i'm going to say it. I'm a Flashing maniac i love downloading roms from here to try out. I wish to find a good Lollipop rom (Minimal OS is excellent, but because it's overclocked to 1,4 Ghz battery life shoit itself) by the way
CM13 has bugs that i can't stand (Videos have desync audio, and again... Battery life is shoit... Even with DorimanX Kernel).
But you think it's possible that CM14 comes to our devices? I mean oficially
CM14 is possible, but only time will tell. We faced quite a few challenges with CM13, and CM14 will be no exception. Best ROM will always be stock 4.1.2 in terms of battery life and overall performance. As for custom kernels, I will plan to support sooner than my late efforts in keeping dori kernel alive for MM.
