[Pw_forum] symmetry operation not allowed

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have changed ecutwfc (from 20-50Ry every 5 Ry), ecutrho (200-1200 every 50), k grid. But nothing works. How to change nr1 nr2 nr3, larger or smaller?
The structure should have 4 symmetry operations while the code can not find any symmetry. I want to reduce the calculation time. That's why I want to remove the message like 
     warning: symmetry operation #  2 not allowed.   fractional translation:
      -0.4999900 -0.4999400 -0.5000000  in crystal coordinates
     warning: symmetry operation #  3 not allowed.   fractional translation:
       0.0000100 -0.5000000 -0.2498700  in crystal coordinates
     warning: symmetry operation #  4 not allowed.   fractional translation:
      -0.5000000  0.0000600  0.2501300  in crystal coordinates

     Planes per process (thick) : nr3 = 45 npp =   4 ncplane = 8100

my input file is

    restart_mode='from_scratch',
