    <p>Dear Anindya <br>
    </p>
    <p>for static pwscf computations the result should be the same no
      matter if some symmetry is actually used in the program or not.
      The set  of k-points used for the Brillouin-zone sum will be
      larger when symmetries are discarded right in order to preserve
      all the  actual symmetries  of the system.    <br>
    </p>
    <p>When the symmetries are not enforced explicitely, there can be
      some small numerical error which step by step can spoil the
      structural relaxation. So  i would  perform the relaxation using 
      the use_all_frac options and then use the obtained structure to
      perform  an scf computation setting use_all_frac = .false.  The
      total energy obtained in this latter calculation should be the
      same as the one obtained in final computation performed at the end
      of the relaxation.   <br>
    </p>
    <p>You can then use the scf calculation with use_all_frac = .false.
      to startup the phonon calculations. <br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
