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 <-- here
B: ShootMe <-- 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

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]

i can jailbreak androids but lets not get into that

Jailbreak = iOS

Rooting = Android

If you know how to root androids you would know that
