Thank you for this! I have done that accidentally on my father's phone a few days ago but I did not know how to repeat it. I will try it again and see if it works or not.

About the Sony Ericsson phones, that power button method works only when it was on 2.3. When I upgraded my sister's SE Xperia Live With Walkman to ICS there is no option from the power button to take screenshot. I don't know if this applies to all other Xperias on ICS.

There you go since my phone doesn't have that version of Android I can't do it. :-/ Thanks for the guide anyway.
