I'm actually (negatively) surprised that the creators do not address the problems many people seem to have right now.
I sent 200 tks to a different wallet (Verge Tor Android) and although it turns up on the blockchain nothing happens in my wallet. Keeps saying not connected.
I think there should be a way bigger uproar about this.
If this was BTC, ETH or similar people would go nuts.

As a temp fix, you can download the tor browser and install. Open it and leave it running. Then download the tor version of electrum wallet and replace the files in your standard electrum wallet folder. It is the same wallet, just has tor privacy. It works.

Does not work either. I had it running for 2 days now. Did not synchronize once.
Coinomi seems to be working but a few hundred coins payment from my mining pool are still in Limbo (for 3 days now). Never arrived in the wallet.

the tor electrum server didnt need to be scaled, and it has worked the entire time. make sure you are connecting to port 50001 maybe? also, pool payments are not related to us, contact the pool owner if you have issues with a pool.

This is the Android Tor Wallet. There is no way for me to changed servers (at least I couldn't find one). I was able to that in the Electrum Windows Wallet though. The payment has been sent by the pool. I can see it on the Blockchain connected to my wallet address so it should be in my Wallet (the reason I wrote it's in Limbo) - yet the Wallet keeps saying "Not connected" and "No coins received yet".
The thing is:
I'm not the only one having this problem. I've read of at least 20 more people here (just a few posts back) and on the Vergecurrency Reddit forum who claim the Wallet does not connect.

Yeah, but if it was a systemic problem I'd expect everyone to have issues though, not just a couple of people. For example, some people might not know how to run Tor and think the dev is to blame for that for some reason its just that they aren't aware of how to run things the right way.

Possibly. But the Electrum Wallet is supposed to work without Tor (according to some posts I have read) and actually did that (I received my first payment) but then just stopped working saying it could not connect (while it could before). It was the same time when the others popped up having the same issue. Me (and some of the others) using the Tor Android Wallet did not help. A couple minutes ago it briefly worked again and I was able to send the coins in that Wallet to my Coinomi Wallet. Then it stopped working once again. I was still waiting for my second payment to the Tor Wallet though and I believe I am using it correctly yet it says there is no connection and I have not received any coins yet even though I can see it on the Blockchain connected to that Wallet address.
To sum it up: Since the Electrum Verge Wallet worked without Tor (and is supposed to) AND the Electrum Android Wallet as well as the Verge Tor Android Wallet keep having connection problems not just for me but also several others it looked (and still looks) like there is a problem on the Verge (server connection) side.

I would agree with cryptobro. Have had the same issues here for a week now. I tried both the standard Windows Electrum Wallet as well as the Tor version (yes, I do know how to use it). As of yesterday both wallets can now finally connect and sync, but I can't send from either wallet. Once the wallet gets to "Broadcasting transaction..." both wallets continually disconnect and reconnect and the transaction never goes through.
