I can log in fine. Maybe wait a bit longer? Is your Tor up to date?

Oh man. I would never use TOR on even a rooted Android device. Smartphones are incredibly difficult (impossible) to secure. Throw in a GPS chip and the fact that Android = Google & any apps on it have access to an insane amount of personal data? No way. I hate to think of what would happen if even a fraction of the traffic from one of those little things was routed through TOR.  :-\

I strongly advise against using any sort of celluar or tablet device to get on SR.  Even using Torbot for android, is not the least bit secure.  It isn't worth the risk being able to access anything like SR on the go.  Be smart my friend.  Do not think that you're celluar provider can't tell what you're doing on your device :)

Try logging on with the regular TBB on a normal computer. If it works, then you have narrowed it down to the Android app. This is not a support question for SR admins. They don't make the app. I highly recommend you don't contact the Tor Project about your inability to log on to SR either. They won't help you if you mention illegal shit anyway.
