Rotation lock can be set in one of two ways (and if 'on' there should be a lock symbol with an arrow circling it next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen), depending on what Settings > General > Use Side Switch To is set to : either via the switch on the right hand side above the volume button, or via the taskbar (if the switch is set to control notification mute) - double-click the home button; slide the taskbar to the right; and it's the icon on the far left. There is more info in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Robert, I tried the 4 finger swipe in my iphone4 and it unlocked the screen!!!... then I was able to

deactivate the voice-over and the white-on-black features. Thank you very much... I had tried all kinds of resettings without luck, and I was afraid I was going to have to erase and reset the whole iphone memory, but this saves the day...

thanks again.
