tried doing that. no luck...
if you want it to vibrate for texts make sure that vibrate is on for silent and its also on under ringer and alerts but more specifically make sure you have a text tone
the text tone will not play if you keep your phone on silent mode, instead it will vibrate twice notifying you of new texts
hope this helped!
Setting Alert tone other than 'None' for text worked for me until i restarted my phone one day and never worked after that. I worked around the issue by creating my own alert and ringer sound with 'no sound' in it and synced it to my phone and i used that as my alert and ringer tone. That way it still play the tone but since it is a quite tone you don't hear anything but vibrate only.
You can check this link to see how you can make your own tones.

OR
Not fair to have gone through all this just to put my phone on vibrate only!!!
The only way I can make the pnone vibrate for text messages only is to acually set a ring tone for the texts in Settings and then flip the switch on the side of the phone to make the phone "silent". This only works if you have vibrate on to begin with of course. The only down side is that your In-Call ring tone will not sound, however the phone will vibrate for the incoming calls as well.
