Try this
h=findobj(gcf,'type','axes')
for k=1:numel(h)
set(h(k),'xtick',[],'ytick',[],'title',[],'ylabel',[]),
end

The axis('off') command turns off the visibility of all of the decorations of the axes. You need to turn the one you want back on:
ax = gca
axis(ax,'off')
xlabel(ax,'something')
ax.XLabel.Visible = 'on'

Sorry, the . notation was introduced in R2014b. It sounds like you're running an earlier version. Something like this should work in both versions:
ax = gca
axis(ax,'off')
xlabel(ax,'something')
set(get(ax,'XLabel'),'Visible','on')
I generally use the dot notation because it's so much easier to read.
