My screen won't flip on the iphone4

My screen won't flip on my iphone4. There are a couple of games that it flips for, but it doesn't flip for anything else, not safari, not mail, not photos. I've tried powering off completely to no avail.

Help, please

iphone, iOS 4

If you are talking about the screen rotation, double click on home button to open up the multi-tasking bar and scroll left, you should see a round arrow with a lock symbol on it and see if that is locked or not.

How about that! There is a little lock with a circle around it. How do I unlock it?

You may be able to find this in the manual:

I double the home button and don't see what you have described (round arrow with a lock symbol). Am I missing something?

You've got to slide to the left to see the icon you're looking for.
