On my old tablet I could take a picture of me screen simply by pressing the previous app button, but this does not work on my Xperia. What's the best way of taking screenshots with this device?

Push and hold the power button. On the menu to turn it off there is a button to take a screenshot.

I prefer the mini app.
Tap the Recent Apps softkey and you should find it.

I tried that, but for some reason it would crop away the edges so I never had a full screenshot
I didn't notice this. Will check it tonight.

I will not take credit for finding this because I'm sure its already been mentioned earlier than i have searched but.....
When holding the stylus, if you press the grey button on the side of it down by the tip and then press and hold the tip on your screen while pressing the grey button, it takes a screen shot of your display. Lets you draw or write on the image and send/share/save/discard...whatever you want. I found this by accident today.
Pretty neat. I wonder what else this thing does that I don't about. Amaaaazing device....wow.

The screen shot feature with the S-Pen is very well known.
Also, if you hold the button and swipe with the S-Pen you are able to use home, menu and back keys.
Button + Swipe Up = Menu
Button + Swipe Down = Home
Button + Swipe Left = Back
Also holding your phone, using the side of your hand, swipe from right to left takes a screenshot of current display

Lol, no it only works sometimes for me. I wouldnt worry about that. It could be my case or screen protector or both. But besides the mentioned ways you can press the home button and power button at the same time for a screenshot.

How do we take a screenshot with ICS then?
Is there a built in native function?
It is my understanding that sony did not put the screenshot feature into their build of ICS. I have not found a really good screenshot app yet, but if/when I do, I will keep you posted. Btw were you part of the psp scene? Any suggestions on a good screenshot app that works with the tablet s?

Simultaneously press and hold the tablet's POWER and VOL- buttons. After a couple of seconds and the screenshot image is momentarily displayed, release the buttons. It's a bit tricky to do, but after a few tries, you'll get the hang of it. The screenshots are stored in /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots.
Thanks Cat! I found this right after I posted, thanks for the info! I am glad to see the screenshot is a feature os sony's ICS. Thanks.
Thanks Cat McGowan !
Now to post my homescreens !
You can press the power-button longer and press on "ScreenShot"

Put your hand flat as if you are going to do a karate chop (as the above poster stated) and wipe it across the screen from right to left or left to right (just like a scanner scanning a piece of paper). This will trigger the screen capture.
Mark.

Power + home pressed at exactly the same time. Hold for a second or 2 and done.

Two things. Need to make sure the swipe to screenshot shortcut is enabled in Settings > Motion. If this is ticked then it works if the front facing camera has enough light. So, in the same way that you need decent ambient light for the phone to check your eyes are open and to use face unlock, it needs the same for screenshots to work.

I noticed that when I hold down the home button of my Xperia Z Ultra, a semi-circle pops up and shows a round "Google Now" icon in the middle of the semi-circle. Is there anyway to add more icons on the circle? Or even to change it? Your kind help would be most appreciated. I can't find the answer anywhere.
Nope, not unless you're running a custom ROM (as far as i know). Are you constantly swiping your finger up from the home button though? I can't really see how that's possible

Need to root and then install xposed framework and install per-app-dpi module.

On my G2 I had a menu soft button at the bottom of the screen. On this phone, I don't see any way to add that button. I use Enhanced Email for my exchange email, and I can't do anything without that button. Any ideas?

Dedicated menu button?
Is there any way to flip the long touch/short touch behavior here, or (even better) add a dedicated home touch button for the menu? I use the menu button way more than "recent".

If you have t-mobile device and rooted, xpose such as gravity or tweakbox will do that

Awesome. Do you have a specific recommendation about which one to use?
Note: for people in the future, this looks like a good place to go for instructions on how to add Xposed.
