I'm posting in case this may help others solve calendar sync issues. It may seem very basic to some users, but it was the result of hours of research, and trial & error, for me.
In my office, we use Outlook with the free Google Sync program. A couple of desktops, my netbook and notebook, and my Xoom and Bionic are all synced to the same Google Calendar.
I was having lots of problems with the calendar on the Xoom updating, until I ran across a post someplace about setting up that Gmail account as an Enterprise account instead of a Gmail account.
I'm running the latest Team EOS Jellybean nightly with the current gapps download. Under Google accounts, I no longer see an option to sync calendars. (I installed the zip file from my SD card, over a version of Pete's Bugless Beast ICS. Yeah, I know....)
I deleted the Google account in settings, then:
Settings --> Add Account --> Corporate
On the setup screen, enter your full email address ([email protected]) and password, then hit "Next."
The next screen is Server Settings.
Domain\username: \username
Password: your password (should carry over from the prior screen)
Server: m.google.com
Port: 443
"Use connection (SSL)" and "Accept all SSL certificates" should be checked.
In the options under the account, you now have a checkbox option to sync the calendar and contacts. (I don't use this account for email, so I left that box unchecked.)
Hope this tip saves somebody the time and headaches I experienced!
