Thanks for the replies everyone, and your testing. It seems confirmed that charging by USB power having over .5 amps will work. However, since I will use laptops, solar power panels or battery packs for charging, I will not be able to charge the G9X via USB from those devices. So I have returned the G9X and currently trying the Sony RX100M4.

Please note that not every USB port complies to the same specs.

USB 1 and USB 2 ports will deliver up to .5 mA (which apparently is not enough for the G9 X to start charging).

USB 3 ports can deliver up to .9 mA, and more in specific cases, so that should work for the G9 X.

Then there are USB Charging Ports. These can deliver more than stated above, and should do so if the connected device requests it. These ports are usually marked with a lightning symbol or similar.

So if your PC has multiple USB-ports, look for either a USB 3 port or a port that is marked as a Charging Port.
