Dear all,
I know this is a old question and I also read the previous
answer about this.
I test with different ecutwfc ,  ecutrho (until 30 times of ecutwfc) , and
K-grid. However, the problem still exists.  Since the calculation expense is always in
concern, so I want to use symmetry during the calculation.
I attach the output and input file here for reference.
     Output file:
