Can I use a Pantone Huey Pro profile with monitor correction disabled?

I understand the Huey Pro calibrates the monitor by adjusting the graphics card LUT and then creates an ICC display profile for that corrected state. On my setup, enabling the correction causes problems in some other applications, especially when I tilt the screen, so I often turn correction on only for image work and off for general use.
Can the Huey Pro create or use a display profile that accurately describes the monitor's uncorrected state, so I can leave correction disabled all the time?

Calibration kit like the Huey Pro measure colours displayed on your monitor to build a colour profile. Colour correction then uses this profile to get the colour right on your monitor. Because of this fact it is mandatory to have colour correction turned on when using these devices.

Generally, no. Devices like the Pantone Huey Pro measure your display and build a profile based on the calibrated result. The ICC profile describes the monitor in that corrected state, and the calibration part (often the video card LUT adjustments) is part of what makes the profile valid.
If you disable the correction, the monitor is no longer in the state the profile was made for, so color-managed applications cannot rely on that profile to display accurate color. In other words, the profile and the correction are meant to be used together.
If correction causes visible shifts with screen angle, that points to the display itself changing with viewing angle rather than a profiling issue. A profile cannot fix that behavior when calibration is turned off.
