[Pw_forum] phonon at Gamma point

OK, let me hint more. 

Anatase has a Pearson symbol tI12 or space group
I4_1/amd. So, ibrav should be 7, but you have chosen a
monoclinic lattice, i.e. ibrav=14. The space group has
16 symmetry elements, but your choice after correcting
ecutrho gives only 4 symmetry elements . 

Imagine  FCC lattice and its conventional basis
vectors now. According to you now we have to put
ibrav=4 or 5. But ibrav=2 for FCC lattice. 

In addition, I also checked your input file via
XCrysDen before I replied previously. Yes, there is no
problem with it, but a figure does not look like 
anatase though  you used  nonzero ibrav. XcrysDen
usually replicates atomic positions  if  ibrav.neq.0. 
 For example, if you put ibrav=0  for  FCC cell and
specify conventional CELL_PARAMETERS you will find  a
rhombohedron, but using ibrav=2 and  default basis
vectors you find a cubic cell. 

Bests,
Eyvaz.
