Press Home button twice quickly. New row of icons will appear at bottom of screen. Slide the icons all the way to the right. Then turn portrait screen lock OFF.

Do what Brad has recommended if you haven't done so already. If this doesn't work, are other applications that use the motion sensors in the iPhone working? For example, some sort of racing game or temple run?
