iOS 5 Custom Vibrations not working

I am trying to assign a custom vibration to a specific person in my Contacts on my iPhone 4. I have activated, created and saved the vibration as instructed and I have assigned it in the edit contact screen. (When in the edit contact screen I have three 'sound' option menus: One titled 'Ringtone'; underneath that, one titled 'Vibration' and then separate and under that, one titled 'text tone'). I have assigned my custom vibration under the 'Vibration' menu.


However, whenever that specific contact sends me a text message, my phone still vibrates with the default two 'vibrations', just like it always has. It will not do the custom vibration.


I have a feeling it has something to do with the 'text tone' option menu, but it does not give me any option to assign a vibration in that menu. I have not been able to get any other vibrations other than the default vibration when I am sent a text.


How do I get this working? I have tried it on a few other contacts with the same results.

I have even tested those custom vibration & attempted to receive phone call. Still not working as expected. Must be some oversight within programming set up that they may need to "activate" in order to get vibration to work. This is actually designed for Deaf users & sure hope they will get it to work with emails/texts as well.
