How do i take screen shots on Xperia Play r008x phone without rooting it. And if you do need to root it, can i get a link for rooting? currently on 2.2.2 android running system. All feedback is appreciated.

1. Smash your phone screen first on a rock
2. Your phone's screen is shot.

Hope I helped

I don't know how, but someone here should.
Good luck!

I think there is a screenshots app in Google Play that lets a handful of Android devices Screenshot without root. Try looking for it.

If you want I can look through Rootzwiki and XDA developers and see what they got for your phone and PM you the links, if I find anything.

Here's a link to the Android Forums they have helped me so much through my Optimus V, Triumph questions. I personally use the screenshot ux app on my phone they have a free version but it only allows you to take 15 screen shots before you have to upgrade to the full version for 4.99 ( I've used this app while my phone has been non rooted and rooted). Btw I think this belongs in the android section of the forums.

Here you go this is what I could find about taking screenies on an xperia play.


Hi,

Android phones are so flexible. And the "mod-ability" of the phone with lockscreens, widgets, themes and live wallpapers certainty makes your Xperia X8 a thing of beauty.

Want to share your lockscreens and homescreens with this us on this forum?

Here is how you can do it:

Oops!!! Forgot to mention...
Your phone MUST be ROOTED to use these apps Apologies - :)

METHOD:

Step 1a: Download and install the app ScreenShot by Giksoft from Android Market
Step 1b: Download and install the app ShootMe by Giksoft from Android Market

Direct Download Option
A: ScreenShot (http://www.giksoft.com/apps/android/screenshot.apk) <-- here
B: ShootMe (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LHBGILFV) <-- works in a similar way to ScreenShot

USER GUIDE FOR SCREENSHOT
When you launch ScreenShot you will see the UI
<5 seconds> - this delays your screenshot for you to choose the correct screen on you phone before the app takes a picture
<Take ScreenShot> this is the button to <click> to take the screenshots

Under Options
<Shake the phone to take a screenshot> this option allows you time to choose the phone screen and then shake the phone to take a ScreenShot.
<Invert Red and Blue colors> self explanatory :)
<save as Png> picture format options the app saves your screenshots
The app save your screenshots to </SD/screenshot> folder

Step 2: Launch <ScreenShot>
- <choose the time delay> OR
- <choose the Shake the phone to take a screenshot>
- go to the screen within the time delay OR <shake the phone>
- a camera click will sound and a screenshot <.png is the default format> will be saved on your SD Card

Step 3: To Retrieve Your Screenshots
- <mount> your Xperia X8
- <click><screenshot> folder and copy out your .PNG files

Step 4: Post your Xperia X8 Screen Grabs to rosered's post - Show Us Your Homescreens X8
- <upload> your pictures.png to a picture host site (e.g. ImageShack)
- <copy> url link to clipboard
- <click> Show Us Your Homescreens thread in this forum
- <type> in the <Quick Reply> box
- <click> the <Insert Image> icon on the tool bar

You have a xperia play? If you have the latest android version there is a screenshot app included in your phone.

If im right you need to touch for about 2-3 sec your on/off button then there are 4 options and I think one of them is taking a screenshot. Tell me if u can't

wait, do i update at store or is there software update on phone?

[Skeletonlord]

If you need to update to include a screenshot app, I think it will be a software update. You can probably do that in your phones settings.

LOL its not a big deal.....rooting an android through a link is nothing compared to jailbreaking an idevice

[stophatin]

i can jailbreak androids but lets not get into that

[Ardon]

Jailbreak = iOS

Rooting = Android

If you know how to root androids you would know that

Depends on the device. Some are rather complicated and involved. Plus, there's the fact that android devs are just more skilled. :P

So, who feels like teaching me how to jailbreak my iPad? Oh, and there's no reason it shouldn't be discussed here, it's completely legal, just voids your warranty.

The main reason is because the devs said no. Google is your friend.

Ah, gotcha. Well thanks anyway man.

Sorry, I didn't intend for that to come out quite so harsh. They shut down jailbreak talk in another thread. Besides, idk much about iOS, other than its an inferior OS. :D
