How do I assign nicknames using Siri on iOS 7?

It's pretty self-explanatory but I'll elaborate,
I'm trying to ASSIGN (and use) nickname to people using Siri, not going into the contact and editing it--which coincidentally can also be achieved using Siri.
I remember that in iOS 6 I used to give people nicknames using Siri but now I would tell her to remember to call someone something and she'll instead set a reminder or do another action. I have no problem assigning relationships but I have no such luck with nicknames. What's the sintax I need to follow?
Spanish is my native language and I still can't assign nicknames using Siri, though to be fair, Siri won't understand me 80% of the times in Spanish--it's useless, I can't even ask Siri simple math equations; she'll search the web.
Also I noticed now, instead of directly calling a person by nickname, first she'll ask me if I mean to call X and then she'll place the call after confirming. Am I doing something wrong—you know, besides calling people by nickname and not by their proper name.
I had deactivated short names and nicknames in settings bacause I want my devices to be looking the cleanest but after reactivating them, Siri would still behave the same.

I just asked Siri to assign a nickname, with those words, and she told me she can't edit contacts. I'm really sure this hasn't always been the case. I played around with iOS restrictions to avoid prying eyes, lost phones and in-app purchases, maybe I screwed something up, I'll reset.
Still, thanks for the link; it's a nice reminder of what Siri can do.

Audio over bluetooth behaves weird after using Siri on iOS 7

iOS 7 changed the behavior of audio play through bluetooth after Siri is invoked, I was hoping that 7.1 would fix this issue but that hasn't been the case.
While playing audio through bluetooth (either through Music app, Podcasts, Pandora, etc) if Siri is invoked for ANY command the following happens:
Siri interrupts music as expected, command(s) is given to Siri, Siri performs command (be it read text, dial a number, answer question about weather, anything), Siri exits, music comes back on but with different sound quality (almost like it was part of a phone call), 20seconds later music stops. The music playing app wil still be running, the track progress continues, but no audio comes out of car speakers. Only way to resume is to quit app, restart the app, and select play -- everything goes back to normal after that (well, untill Siri is used again).
This behavior is making using the iPhone in my car for music and navigation almost more work than it's worth. Does anyone have a clue what is going on here? Is this an issue that Apple would have to resolve in a future update? Everything worked as spected in iOS 6.
My wife and I have two 2011 VW Jetta wagons, I use a 5s and she has a 5c, and both phones have the latest released iO -- the issue presents the same on both cars.

Sometimes what happens next is (this doesn't always happen) after I say "Give me directions", Siri will say "Ok, getting directions." Then the lockscreen appears. If you don't put in your code the directions never start. Since the phone was in my pocket I didn't realize this. There was no way for me to know that Siri was not navigating me since the phone was in my pocket.
EDIT: The above behavior only happens when asking for walking directions. It happens if you say "Give me walking directions", or if you say "give me directions" and your default method of directions is set to walking directions in maps settings.

How can I assign 'Call Contact' in Reminders app without using Siri for it?

Hi!
Just like the title states, I was wondering how can I assign a click to call a contact in Reminders without using Siri for it.
When I enter a reminder "Call mom" for instance (in the Reminders app), it does not sync with the same contact in my Contact list (for Click to Call), but it does when I use Siri for it. Anyway to resolve that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the config the the module you are using doesn't support a certain type of form them you have two options;
- Take a copy of the print program and change it to use the desired type of form
- Create a type of form that is supported and use that to call your form.

Nick

How do I set the audience when I'm using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook

How do I set the audience privacy for when I’m using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook?
When I ask Siri to post a message to my Facebook Siri tells me what I have said and then asks tot post it, I then checked on my computer and the post is visible to "ME ONLY" I can change this on the computer and on my phone via the App but I do not want to be doing that all the time.
If I post to Facebook via Siri on my iPhone 5 I want it at the default setting of friends only.
So How do I change this?
I posted the first one 2 minutes ago then went into Facebook via the App and changed it but did a second one hoping that the default privacy had changed but it was again to me only. As you can see via the padlock. Please help. Thanks

What if you do need help or emergency situation while Posting FB via Siri is the fastest way to show you or someone is in danger, and he/she is dying because the post is Only visible to Me !?!?!?!???
Anyone who uses FaceBook to get immediate help for life threatening emergency is mercifully removing themselves from the gene pool.

I'm trying to make a script that goes through a folder recursively, checks for every folder if it's name is "template", and if so it changes the icon of that folder to an icon
I chose.
I searched for an answer here, and I've only managed to find a way to assign an icon to a shortcut, but not to an existing file.
Thanks in advance (:

How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen so I can use a Logitech R800 presenter? An option in next version?

I have recently bought a Logitech R800 presenter which works very well with Keynote on a MacBook Pro. The start/stop presentation key does not work but that can be easily fixed by assigning F5 to "Start presentation" for Keynote in the keyboard system preferences. The remaining issue is that the blank screen button sends a period (".") which works as a prompt for a blank screen in PowerPoint, but in Keynote it causes the slideshow to end. Keynote uses the letter "B" for blank screen.
How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen? Some sort of work around would be very useful as I often use blank screen in my presentations and much prefer Keynote to PowerPoint.
Perhaps it will be an option in next version of Keynote?
Thanks

As far as I know you can not change these keystrokes without changing the Program files. I am sure it is possible there, but I have no idea where to even start to tell you where to find it.
Your best bet it to go to the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback and let Apple know you would like the option to change them.

Since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

Unfortunately, I have a very similar problem. Since I upgraded to os 5.1 on my new iPhone 4S the reminders screen will not add new reminders or scroll up and down. What's more strange is the screen will still scroll side to side allowing access to the Completed list, and both the Completed list and Date functions work normally so this must be an upgrades glitch.

How to link Purchase Order using account assignment category "F"* to asset

Hello,
I'd like to know how to link Purchase Order, using account assignment category "F" to asset .
When I enter asset no. in my ANEK table, po no(ebeln) and po item(ebelp) field is blank.
whether every line item in a Purchase order have differrent asset.
can anybody give me the link between asset and materal no?
Regards,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Your message is a little bit confusing. There is no link between the asset and material number. If you want to post your purchase order, using account assignment F - that is internal order - you may do it. Futher, you can settle the postings from this order to asset.
