method to eliminate NIntegrate warning.

I want to know the method to eliminate NIntegrate warning.

The two warning message follows :

NIntegrate::slwcon:
   Numerical integration converging too slowly; suspect one of the
     following: singularity, oscillatory integrand, or insufficient
     WorkingPrecision.
NIntegrate::ncvb:
   NIntegrate failed to converge to prescribed accuracy after 7
     recursive bisections in x near x = 0.126684.

How can I escape from this problem ? When above-case happened, can I
believe the accuracy of my data ?

The two file which I used follows :

/********* program.ma file *************/

Result1=0;
m=9.11*10^-31;
e=1.60*10^-19;
Energy=0.5;
h=1.05458*10^-34;
Kx=(2*m*10^3*e*Energy)^(.5)/h;
data=ReadList["a.dat", Real];
num=Length[data];
For[i=1,i<=num,i++,
 phase[i]=data[[i]];
 Print[phase[i]];
]
f1[x_]=Sum[(2*i+1)*(Cos[2*phase[i+1]]-1)*LegendreP[i,Cos[x]],{i,0,num-1}];
f2[x_]=Sum[(2*i+1)*(Sin[2*phase[i+1]])*LegendreP[i,Cos[x]],{i,0,num-1}];
f3[x_]=f1[x]^2+f2[x]^2;
Kxx=1/(4*Kx^2);
Result=NIntegrate[f3[x]*Sin[x],{x,0,Pi}]; fil=OpenAppend["b.dat"];
Write[fil,2*3.141592*Kxx*Result];
For[c=1,c<=180,c++,
 Print[c];
 Result2=NIntegrate[f3[x]*Sin[x],{x,Pi/(180)*(c-1),Pi/(180)*c}
  ,MaxRecursion->0,AccuracyGoal->5];(* -> <<<Here : Warning Message>>>
*)
 Result1+=Result2;
  Write[fil,c,th,Result1/Result];


];
Close[fil];
